Hmm... The chmod should work at least with ntsec. If you recently
enabled ntsec, then make sure to exit *all* Cygwin process before trying
again.

You can always edit config.h (after running configure) -- this is
what I did until I traced through configure.in and figured out the
group permission requirement. Too bad there isn't a configure option
for this...
Anyway, just replace:
#undef USE_DOTLOCK
with:
#define USE_DOTLOCK 1
in config.h.

Why two? One package with USE_DOTLOCK enabled will handle both cases
-- locking required and locking unnecessary.

No problem. It was just the standard situation -- I had the itch...
Thanks for being open to "fixing" your package.
