Well, my locking data isn't as simple as "locked, not
locked". The resource has ranges that can be locked, and it
can be locked for reading (shared) and writing (exclusive).
It's not really fun.
That said, I want the whole fun to work on Unix and
Windows.
So my options are:
1) Write native api code for the job, using shared
memory/mutexs, or whatnot for the relevant OS.
2) Find a suitable storage for the structured data.
I'm currently trying (2).
