Z Axis is not locking, when not being used (Drifts)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When the X or Y Axis is moved, the stepper motor for Z is not 'enabled' thus 
it tends to drift when the X and or Y axis move.
All is OK for the X and Y Axis, when either one moves, the other is locked, 
hence no drift is encountered on the X and or Y Axis.

If possible, whould like to have all 'other' axes locked ('enabled') when a 
single axis is moved.

Im not 100% sure if this is an issue or not.  It is useful for the Z axis to be
disabled during print.  I personally haven't experienced drift, but having the Z
disabled allows me to adjust height during print time when a raft layer isnt 
printing
at the correct height.  Since Z is a screw system, i don't think very much 
drift can
be introduced unless your rods are very well lubed.

Hopefully this becomes optional.

The plan is to implement this as an option.
