That shouldn't be too hard, but is there really no better solution?
Why doesn't windows have fsync?  I mean, it must have some system call
that does exactly the same thing, but cygwin just doesn't map it?

If there's no way to do it then I'll just add a test to fs_abilities,
and display that warning you mentioned if the filesystem doesn't
support fsync.
