Description: 
        The lockfile module exports a FileLock class which provides a simple
        API for locking files.  Unlike the Windows msvcrt.locking function,
        the Unix fcntl.flock, fcntl.lockf and the deprecated posixfile module,
        the API is identical across both Unix (including Linux and Mac) and
        Windows platforms.  The lock mechanism relies on the atomic nature of
        the link (on Unix) and mkdir (on Windows) system calls.
        
        Version 0.8 fixes several bugs relating to threads and test reorganization.
