Debian has the same function in liblockfile. Defining HAVE_LIBMAIL (albeit a lie) gets movemail to use maillock -- as I commented in gnu-linux.h -- without touching movemail.c. See conditionals on HAVE_LIBMAIL &c near the top of movemail.c. Is that clear? Yes, it is clear now. Would you please install your changes in the trunk and in RC?
