Hi,

I have CMake modules that can share resources between different instances. For now I manage it by invoking `mkdir <shared-dir>/lock-directory` and checking the result, then removing this directory so the next instance can do the modification. The problem occurs when somebody terminate CMake. Since I can't set handler (e.g. SIGINT) to CMake, directory will not be removed and will be "locked" forever.

So it can't be resolved without some low-level management. I'm thinking about `file` command sub-option like LOCK_DIRECTORY: `file(LOCK_DIRECTORY "/path/to/shared-dir")`. Does it sounds doable?

Thanks, Ruslo
