I have already lockf kernel code from FreeBSD in my local sandbox since
I began working on that earlier this year at one point.  The most missing
resources are spare time and a good idea how to share the lock data
between processes in a *sensible* way.  The simple appraoch would use
Cygserver to keep track of lock data, but I really don't want to involve
Cygserver in file I/O.
