Changes for version 0.15

  • Module rewritten as three modules, one working exactly as before, and two new ones that instead of being XS-based use Perl code. For the first one the Perl code for packing/unpacking the C flock struct is generated when 'perl Makefile.PL' is run. For the other a C program is created, compiled and run each time the module gets loaded. This is in response to some concerns the Debian dpkg package managers (who use the module) had for certain circumstances when new Perl versions need to be installed (as far as I understand;-)
