We use mmap GnuTLS's strfile now, but it has had its portability problems, and I'd like to move to something simpler since this isn't performance critical. It is also possible that sometimes the files are devices, sockets etc, and then mmap doesn't work. Avoiding the dependency on mmap, sysconf, stat, etc seems simpler to me. If someone is worried about the performance later on, it is possible to extend it to use mmap when possible. Thanks, Simon
