I agree: we should have a core API for "locking resources" (e.g. page 
caching). We can start shipping with one implementation (e.g. flock), 
but have more options in future. Or course the API should be so cool 
that even extensions might make use of them. :)

And then Bernhard can build his lockPageGenerate() method upon that. 
Bernhard, it would be cool if you could document your lockPageGenerate a 
bit "better" so that it might be easier to review that.

Cheers,
