It looks like we don't have access to file owner/group (or even a dummy) on Windows.
What do you think about not having the uid in the path at all?
I guess it comes down to what you are trying to accomplish:
1) Build a global hash table of the file system in /tmp. So, the file can only be opened by one person at a time.
2) Build a user-specific hash table. This way, users can't maliciously interfere with each other.
I don't know enough of the use cases. What are the cases for sharing locks between multiple-users? It might just be Friday, but I can't think of any.
