It can't possibly be platform-independent if it's to be mmapped...
otherwise you end up making another copy of the data before you can use
it, which eliminates the whole space savings benefit.

I've tested it on multiple platforms before, but please test it again.
It was designed to work on multiple platforms, by keeping one copy per
platform (all the copies are stored in the same file, but in different
sections).
