Using SAMBA (or similar), place the key/data/index files in a shared
directory.  Place the *nix formats on the *nix box, and the Windows
formats on the Windows box.  By pointing PFDATA to the local formats,
and including the shared directory in PFDSK, you can share the data.

You do have to be careful to keep the formats in sync, and don't
restructure the file without taking into account the fact that there
are two maps pointing to the data.
