thanks. unfortunately, I do need interprocess locking.  It's a CGI 
environment and I can't quite figured out a simple way to do a threaded 
daemon process to CGI bridge.  unfortunately, it's just one of those 
"get it done" projects I need to do.  Maybe I should stick metakit into 
a multithreaded xmlrpc daemon and tell it what I need to do that way.

(no,no eric, just get it done... cries the voices in my head :-)
