If I understand your question, this is inherently built in since one
accesses stacks through MC.  Are the substacks posted not enough granularity
for you?

Maybe I'm missing something but the system I set up already does this: grab
a stack and it is marked as unavailable to anyone who attempts to grab that
stack from the server.  No CGI needed (unless we suddenly get hundreds of
interested folks all vying for stack access at the same time).
