 * Why not use /var/spool/lock to contain the directory?  I think it would be

I have no idea why "lock" ended up in there in the first place.  The
only reason I can think of is because it is used by uucp, which is a
large consumer of the /var/spool hierarchy.

 * kind of goofy to have a {PREFIX}/etc/rc.d script create xemacs' lock file
 * directory each time the machine boots up!

The script still needs to be somewhere to delete bogus lock files
after a crash.
