 If a .gislock file gets created for a user, then it might be a good idea
 to store that user's current login name and machine name in the file. That
 way, external GUIs that encounter a lockfile when trying to log a user
 into a mapset will be able to output a more specific error message,
 including the lockfile creator's identity, giving the user a better clue
 as to whether the lockfile can be safely deleted or not.

 Not sure what version of GRASS this could go into, but it seems to me it
 would not affect any of the current functionality(?).
