 Minicom create a lock file when it is launched to prevent another instance
 to be called.

 For now, Portfile set this to ${prefix}/var which is 755 by default on
 leopard, so by default only root can call minicom.

 It would be better if --enable-lock-dir was set up on ${prefix}/lock which
 could be set 1777.
 Else if we accept path outside of prefix, we can use /var/tmp (or /tmp to
 be more portable)
