Let's not think too Unix-specific. If we add such an API it should do
something on Windows too -- the app shouldn't have to test for the
presence of the API. (And thus the API probably shouldn't be called
fsync.)
This is especially true given Windows has recently introduced a transactional API for NTFS. Although the tone is - err - gushing - it (a) should give some information on what is available, and (b) was high on my google search list <wink>
