/*
 * This code stolen from the NSE library and changed to not depend
 * upon any NSE routines or header files.
 *
 * Simple file locking.
 * Create a symlink to a file.  The "test and set" will be
 * atomic as creating the symlink provides both functions.
 *
 * The timeout value specifies how long to wait for stale locks
 * to disappear.  If the lock is more than 'timeout' seconds old
 * then it is ok to blow it away.  This part has a small window
 * of vunerability as the operations of testing the time,
 * removing the lock and creating a new one are not atomic.
 * It would be possible for two processes to both decide to blow
 * away the lock and then have process A remove the lock and establish
 * its own, and then then have process B remove the lock which accidentily
 * removes A's lock rather than the stale one.
 *
 * A further complication is with the NFS.  If the file in question is
 * being served by an NFS server, then its time is set by that server.
 * We can not use the time on the client machine to check for a stale
 * lock.  Therefore, a temp file on the server is created to get
 * the servers current time.
 *
 * Returns an error message.  NULL return means the lock was obtained.
