Seems reasonable, but get rid of the comment "However we can't do this
just yet, it has portability issues"; and you've got a double semicolon
in one place.  It might also be worth commenting the BasicOpenFile calls
along the lines of "Many OSs don't let us open directories RDWR, while
some reject fsync on files opened RDONLY, so we need two cases."
