Is there a somewhat painless way in djgpp to map a file directly to
memory?  So that a person could do something like this:

	ptr = fmap( "bigfile.dat", "r" );
	Decompress( ptr, bigDestBuffer );
	funmap( ptr );

I know that some Unix flavors have something similar, but I'm not sure
if it's part of the OS or the compiler.
