The default value isn't magic.  The appropriate value is
context-specific.  I've got some people using Lucene on machines with
slow disks, and we need to be able to increase the WRITE_LOCK_TIMEOUT
to prevent entirely random lossage.

Here's a patch (I hope it gets through). Let me know if it's okay, I will 
commit it then.
