Make up your mind: use the cygwin configuration or use the MSVC
configuration. MSVC doesn't define NO_MMAP for a reason. Where is the problem?

I understand that you run into this error if you define NO_MMAP in your
config.mak. I don't know whether we support NO_MMAP as a knob for to tweak
the builds on all platforms. If this is the case (Junio?), then your
justification must be updated.
