So, libio has a call to fcntl, to lock the file currently being read (in share_ctl.c::chare_ctl_next_utts).  The problem is, fcntl does not exist in windows; any suggestions on how to get around this (without commenting out the lock, or perhaps writing a compatible lock function).

As far as the unix part goes, do subsequent reads on the locked file cause the locked region to move with the file pointer (i.e. a two byte window from the file pointer)?  Or is the point to lock the first two bytes?
