[Omake] OMake locking

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's a way to make OMake's locking mechanism less severe.

My project has a few long-running files take over an hour to build
apiece.  When I start building one of these files, I can't use OMake
at all on other parts of the project, because I get messages like
this:

*** omake: the project is currently locked.
*** omake: the project was last locked by ivan:5997.
*** omake: waiting for project lock: .........................................
*** omake: waiting for project lock: .........................................

To avoid waiting an hour or two for the lock to be released, I end up
issuing build commands manually.  But this seems very clunky and it'd
be nice if I could use still use OMake even though the project is
locked.

Thanks,
   Jared
