I've applied an equivalent patch:
http://git.annexia.org/?p=hivex.git;a=commitdiff;h=085707078097f6def993b20a794001d6c06f1492

I tested it using the Fedora Windows cross-compiler.  Please check it
still works in your environment.

Some comments:

Lots of small patches are easier to review.  However each patch still
needs to be an atomic, consistent commit, which wasn't the case here.
'git format-patch' or 'git send-email' makes it simpler both for you
to send, and for me to apply, patches.

We had some discussion on IRC about how to reduce the impact on the
main code further.  There were two proposals: either to implement a
hashtable in the Windows mmap code to map <something> to hive handles.
Or to do what we did (which is a bit of a hack):
  #define mmap(...) mmap (h, ...)
This isn't the best solution, but it'll do til we think of something
better.

Files not listed in *_SOURCES so make dist would have failed.

Rich.
