Near the bottom of xt/yaml_valid.pl has an example of using eval. You probably
don't need an error check here though, just the eval. If the platform can't
handle flock, the best thing we can do is move on. Maybe output a message if -v
has been specified.

Hmm, an option on what to do is fine, though I think generally I'd want it to
just die, so I don't run the risk of having 50 processes all sitting waiting.
It should die with an output on STDERR though, as this is likely to be an
uncommon event and might be indicative of an issue.
