DAV lock database management tool

Hello

mod_dav_fs is a nice solution to provide file sharing, but I have found 
the management of stale mod_dav_fs locks a pain to handle. If an 
application crashes holding a lock, one have to await for lock timeout
before touchign the file again.

Perhaps there is a smart solution to this, but since I did not find
it, I made this tool to manage the lock database:
https://ftp.espci.fr/pub/htdavlock/htdavlock-0.2.tar.gzc

It is able to dump the mod_dav_fs lock database content, and
with appropriate Apache configuration (see README), it can remove locks.

I provide it for whoever is interested. Feedback are welcome.
