What kind of locking does sqlite use on Cygwin:

[ ] POSIX fcntl locks
[ ] BSD flock locks
[ ] Old POSIX lockf locks?

Here's a proposal:

- Only add optional mandatory locking to fcntl and flock locks, not for
  lockf locks.

- Add a flag F_MDLCK which can be or'ed to struct flock's l_type.

- Add a flag LOCK_MD which can be or'ed to the 2nd parameter to flock(2).

- Using these flags, I'll resurrect the old pre-Cygwin 1.7 locking code
  which does NOT support F_GETLK.  I will try, but I can also not
  guarantee that a blocking, mandatory lock call will be interruptible
  by signals.

- For anything else, http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC


Does that sound ok?
