On Windows we can allocate shared memory as private copy-on-write pages. 
It is not as useful as Linux' os.fork(), as pointers cannot be shared, 
but still a nice way to save some RAM if we want to share (and 
write-protect) large ndarrays. I might add this option to my shared 
memory ndarrays one day, but not today :)
