Now that there's some expectation that software in "lockers" might be
running on systems without the suite of Athena tools, I think it might
be apropos to add to the lockers man page something like the following:
Software in lockers that depends on tools that have been installed by a
comprehensive Athena install should check for the existence of
/etc/athena/version to confirm the expectation that the Athena
environment is there. This will save confusion and frustration on the
part of users who do not fully understand the locker concept who have
AFS but don't have Athena.
