Dynodump is not really obsolete yet - it will continue to be used for
dumping on Solaris2.x, x<6.  One of the changes I made was to have "make"
completely ignore dynodump on non-Solaris systems.  I didn't do a
complete job of this - Makefile.in needs more hacking - I will provide
a patch - In the meantime, work around this by just deleting
references to dynodump in targets in the top-level Makefile.

Steve, you're better qualified than I to write the INSTALL section for 
mail locking.  Proof-reading of INSTALL is also appreciated.
