There is of course fpFlock for unix,

http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/unix/fpflock.html

However this means implementing file locking differently on unix and
windows computers, which makes the application not cross platform.

I was hoping for something like LockFile and UnlockFile for both windows
and unix, instead of implementing locking using IFDEF WINDOWS and IFDEF
UNIX.
