Thanks for that--I've been needing it for my fsdb projet! Ok to use it 
under the ruby license (with attribution and copyright to you, of course)?

Suggestion, if you ever package it up somewhere: call it File#posixlock,
#plock, #pflock, #fcntl_lock, or whatever, and let users alias it in for 
#flock or use it under its own name without replacing #flock. (In my 
local copy I named it fcntl_lock.)
