Rather than complicating the FileStore, wouldn't a better solution be
to use one of the more "transactional" message stores, like the
MySQLStore, or the OdbcStore backed by <pick your database>?

Looking at 1.12.4, it seems like the BerkeleyDB-backed MessageStore I
contributed has disappeared.  How come?  Wasn't this included with at
least one release of QuickFIX?
