Sorr for not getting back to you.  It turns out that simply using
O_EXCL is fairly easy, but fitting it into a portabilitity framework
isn't.  So I think I'll have to give up on that attempt for now.

That being said I think ustat fits pretty well for this use case,
so getting rid of it might need a little more justification.
