I see in your locking framework that you provide the possibility to
use an external program to do the locking of a mailbox.
Can you please give me an example as to how to accomplish this?
Let's say I need to lock the mbox file in path /a/b/c/xxx with my own
program. I imagine I will do 

- mu_mailbox_create (&mbox,path)
- mu_mailbox_open  (mbox, MU_STREAM_RDWR|MU_STREAM_CREAT)
- mu_mailbox_get_locker (mbox, &lock)
- mu_locker_lock (lock) (at this point my external program will spawn
and lock the file using its methods)
- do stuff with the mailbox...
- mu_locker_unlock (lock) (the external program spawns again)

Am I correct and if so, where do I declare the external program and
what arguments is it expected to have?
