I will look into this.

My two projects rely on each other (one is the library and the other is
the app).  And since the app relies on the latest version of the
library, I need locks between the two projects so that app doesn't get
built until the latest version of the library is done building.  I was
using two buildmasters before, and the app would have a symlink to the
libraries build project, but a lot of times a developer will commit
changes to the library then immediately to the app, and the app will
fail because the library hasn't finished building.


Thanks,
