built on windows

[thirdwing]

The mmap for Windows implementation is from https://code.google.com/p/mman-win32/.

And now RcppAnnoy passed the R CMD check on windows (http://win-builder.r-project.org/XXJ1PZFHgu7l/00check.log).

I have used this mmap implementation when porting software to Windows. It works well although the efficiency may not be that good.

You rock. That was unbelievably fast as I only blogged about the wouldn't it be nice this morning!

Now, the patch is [mostly] against annoylib -- so do you want to fork Annoy as well to get a contributor credit? If you'd rather not I'd be happy too as @erikbern has let a few of my PRs in.

But this is very much your work, so you ought to get a credit too ...

[thirdwing]

OK. I will do that myself.

Actually I have been porting some C++ code to Windows for last week and mmap is one of important parts. That is why it can be done so fast.

Sounds good. Tell @erikbern I said Hi :)

Oh, and maybe just copy over the two lines I added in RcppAnnoy to give provenance and license.
