I think you misunderstood me.
In this case, using a locking system would "lock too much".
The current method is to extract a file to the working directory:
f = fopen("file.zip", "w");
fwrite (f, some_data);
fclose (f);

What I want is to change ziplib/tarlib's API to something like this:
void zlextract(gchar *extract_to, gchar *file_to_extract)
{
    gchar *fn = g_strdup_printf ("%s/%s", extract_to, file_to_extract);

    f = fopen (fn, "w");
    fwrite (f, some_data);
    fclose (f);
}
