 It seems to be that the "standard" behavior under Windows is that when a file is opened by an application, it cannot be deleted by another one (my understanding is that your patch changes this). Anyway, this is the behavior OCaml used to reflect in the Unix module, and some applications could rely on it (and actually we do rely on this behavior at LexiFi in one specific place of our codebase); so I'm reluctant to integrate your patch.

One could imagine extending the interface with an optional argument (ignored under Unix?). But I tend to believe that a nice coverage of the Win32 API should probably be implemented in a separate library.

 At this time Unix.openfile have different behavior on UNIX and Windows. One can have difficulties while developing cross-platform applications (I had it, and I wasted several hours to find what is blocking deletion of files on production servers where dozens of users and active applications). So if patch will not be integrated, this difference at least must be noted in documentation of Unix.openfile.

 I've added a flag Unix.O_SHARE_DELETE, which can be passed to Unix.openfile (it does not nothing under Unix). This is available in the SVN trunk. Let me know if it works for you.
