Ugly.
The point behind having the external dotlock helper is to make sure
that we can do the dotlocking with the necessary privileges.
The best approach if you want to install a custom mutt version on a
system that has mutt_dotlock installed elsewhere is to just *ignore*
the fact that "make install" bails out complaining about a chgrp.
Then, use your mutt configuration to point to the pre-installed
mutt_dotlock. That way, you get your private mutt, but still have
the necessary locking rights.
As an alternative, edit config.h after you ran ./configure, and
undefine USE_DOTLOCK there. Again, ignore the error upon
installation. Don't do this one unless you understand your system's
locking setup.
