  i'm reading bitbake's "build.py", and that looks right.  only one
other observation -- i see another what looks like a task flag,
"lockfiles", that's not mentioned in the bitbake user manual.  is that
actually a task flag?  should it be mentioned in that section?

  i think that's all of my whining about task flags.
