Preventing two programmers from working on the same thing at the same time
is called management.

That's really no advantage ... the two developers are actually working 
on modules, and then putting their modules in a service program.  Just 
have them put 1 function per module, and bind all the modules into 1 
service program.  You can rebuild or update the service program quickly.

Of course, there's really no reason to just put 1 function in a module 
... just make sure related functions are in the same module.  Chances 
are that two developers are not going to be working on the same logical 
function at once.
