Bleah! Forcing people to "add -f" a locker sucks. The script should
check if the user already has sipb in their path and run the binary
from there without saying anything if they do.
If someone feels inspired to write a standard locker redirection
script template, we can put it somewhere nice and canonical, like
maybe the `lockers' locker.
