I believe the issue here is that exp_runtimedir is writable only by
root, while DavLockDB needs to be writable by child processes.  I
tried to introduce the "var" directory in the docs as an example of a
child-writable directory, and have tried to use it consistently as
such.  I consider the stuff in conf/extra to be essentially
documentation, not necessarily working configurations.
