We are discussing here a set of problems which breaks the logging
collector to work on Windows, requiring mostly a Windows patch. And I
am not much willing to mess up with the area of shared memory handling
on Windows a couple of days before a beta.

This is part of the patch only because it has proved to be useful for
testing with MSVC on my VMs. I am not suggesting to add that in this
patch if this gets merged into HEAD. It is actually a good idea to
enforce that sometimes for the cfbot.. I'll remember your suggestion
for future patches.
