What about making this configurable, so that one could for examble change is prompt to:

Would a patch be accepted if I ever would get around to it? (I won't have time for the
next few weeks, so if anyone else wants to do the implementation: feel free :)
That same documentation mentions that locks acquired using flock()
will *not* invoke the mandatory lock semantics even if on a file
marked for it, so I guess flock() isn't implemented on top of fcntl()
