1) System mailbox locking
This must use the same scheme as the platform's /bin/mail and friends
use.
In some cases, that's fcntl.
The configure script needs to set the appropriate value based on
the platform it's being run on.
configure can't do that unless it looks at all the applications
that might write to the mail spool.
Configure also needs to determine
whether inc needs setgid on that platform.
It already does.
The user should never have to override these, and I don't think we
should even provide a knob to let them to do so.
What if the user also uses an application that writes to the
mail spool but uses a different locking scheme than /bin/mail?
