gnome-vfs and file locking

[Dietmar Maurer <dietmar maurer-it com>]

I wonder how we can implement file locking for gnome. What if we
extend the GnomeVFSMethod with lock and unlock functions:

GnomeVFSResult lock (GnomeVFSMethod *method,
                     GnomeVFSMethodHandle *method_handle,
                     gboolean shared);

GnomeVFSResult unlock (GnomeVFSMethod *method,
                       GnomeVFSMethodHandle *method_handle);
