335 ** There is a new configure option '--with-clash-detection' to
336 enable/disable 'lockdir' based clash detection. (Actually, it has
337 been there since 20.4, but was not documented then). The
338 implementation based on a central locking directory can cause
339 severe slowdowns on networked file systems. Therefore the default
340 has been changed to build with clash detection disabled, pending
341 reimplementation of the feature (most likely compatible with the
342 new implementation in recent FSF verions and Interleaf) in an
343 upcoming version.
