No, and no.  It's unfortunately too late for Abhijit's patch to make it 
into 8.2; it was't submitted until last week, I believe.  

So userlocks will be in pgFoundry for the next rev -- frankly, it should 
have been for 8.1 but I forgot it.  For the 8.3 version, as Tom has 
indicated we may want to change the API somewhat anyway, so we'll want the 
pgFoundry version for backwards-compat.
