I can't really answer (1) due to lack of knowledge. For (2), I think
it's mostly good, though I raised a small nit. For (3), I think this is
really an OS restriction and not a filesystem one, so probably
build-time is OK (though of course Windows people may be able to correct
me).

I left a few comments, but overall it looks quite good to me.
