I just want to give some short feedback. I like your code but I'd like to defer 
inclusion until the next release is out (If I can get my ass up I will do a 
release this weekend - but no promises)

I'd like to discuss the locking mechanism as well. The .mlist file needs to be 
locked for a very short time while writing only. The lock doesn't need to 
survive multiple script runs, too. So I think it would be more efficient to use 
the locking mechanisms provided by the underling OS using the flock() call 
instead of creating lockfiles our self...
