Patch 311 — Fixes problem with licpoll that runs for almost two hours

If start of licpoll for some reason (e.g a heavily loaded host)
is delayed by a few minutes, the calculation of how long licpoll
is run would wrongly add an additional hour to the runtime. This
patch installs an updated licpoll which fixes this problem.

Patch 305 — Support for borrowed licenses and various stability fixes

This patch adds handling of borrowed Flex licenses.

The following fixes are also included if you don't already
have patch 297:

When running lmstat takes a lot of time (many and/or
heave license files) occasionally a licpoll would not 
terminate after it's processing time (one hour)was finished. 
After the first instance experienced this problem, all
consecutive instances would also "hang". This fixes 
this problem.

The patch also replaces the intra process locking mechanism
with thread mutex's instead of semaphores.

Patch 297 — Fix problem with "hanging" licpoll binaries

When running lmstat takes a lot of time (many and/or
heave license files) occasionally a licpoll would not 
terminate after it's processing time (one hour)was finished. 
After the first instance experienced this problem, all
consecutive instances would also "hang". This fixes 
this problem.

The patch also replaces the intra process locking mechanism
with thread mutex's instead of semaphores.

Patch 286 — Fix problems with UPGRADE lines

This patch fixes licpoll problems with correct handling of 
UPGRADE lines in FLEXlm license files.
