Basic inter-process locks

*************************

The zc.lockfile package provides a basic portable implementation of

interprocess locks using lock files.  The purpose if not specifically

to lock files, but to simply provide locks with an implementation

based on file-locking primitives.  Of course, these locks could be

used to mediate access to *other* files.  For example, the ZODB file

storage implementation uses file locks to mediate access to

file-storage database files.  The database files and lock file files

are separate files.
