[OpenAFS] file-locking

[Matt Benjamin]

The short answer is, on Windows, you will find improved (see the release 
notes) locking semantics in OpenAFS 1.5.x.  The same capability will be 
available for Unix-like platforms soon.

(Jeff Altman's roadmaps for the Windows client are a very helpful source 
of information.)
