Platform: Elm 2.2 PL 14 on VAX 3500 running 4.3 BSD-tahoe

Problem: I don't wish to run ELM either setuid or setgid as it's not needed
for mail box locking.  4.3 BSD-tahoe uses only flock().  Creation of .lock
files should be #ifdef'ed the same as LOCK_WITH_FLOCK.  A patch file will
be sent to the contact address once I finish the install and test for a
while.
