SymlinkFileLock

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Lockfile class for using (dangling) symlinks for locking.
Patch attached.
(More testing would be preferred, though).

Initial problem for me was that hardlinks didn't work well over sshfs.

Side note: pylockfile code could likely use some redesign — a bit of 
formatting, some better expressions (although not very sure about pre-2.6 
compatibility on those), and more abstract version of acquire() which uses own 
classmethods and doesn't have to be copied in all classes.
