I was wondering whether trying to be smart (i.e., locking only during
an actual writing) would be better as opposed to locking during the
whole process.  I chose (with you agreement) the latter.  Aharon,
using CVS Autoconf and CVS Automake you should 1. no longer experience
this problem, 2. have faster updates of the tree when touching say
configure.ac.
