It depends on the version of Windows and it depends on how the file is
being deleted.
Cygwin uses delete-on-last-close type of semantics in unlink() so that
should work in cases where cygwin is being used. If you're not using
Cygwin, but you are using Windows NT, you could investigate using the
DELETE_ON_CLOSE argument to CreateFile as a method for (eventually)
deleting an open file.
