stat() is not a problem. It is available on almost every platform and is
almost trivial to re-implement if needed.
But mmap() is a real pain to implement if it is not because this one require
hevay dependence on the virtual memory system. BeOS has trouble with it, and
I don't even think about MacOS 8.
