/*
**  LOCKFILE -- lock a file using flock or (shudder) fcntl locking
**
**	Parameters:
**		fd -- the file descriptor of the file.
**		filename -- the file name (for error messages). [unused]
**		ext -- the filename extension. [unused]
**		type -- type of the lock.  Bits can be:
**			LOCK_EX -- exclusive lock.
**			LOCK_NB -- non-blocking.
**			LOCK_UN -- unlock.
**
**	Returns:
**		true if the lock was acquired.
**		false otherwise.
