As for internal locking, it's a toss-up between flock and lockf. To
me the tie breaker is which of the two gets along best with network
mounted filesystems these days (and think AFP and CIFS in addition
to NFS).
In case anyone thinks this is hypothetical, it's not. Both my home
directory and my $MAIL are NFS mounted. I have no strong views on
which locking mechanism is used, so long as it doesn't break for
my setup.
