Additionally I've also added a patch to move the PREFIX/var/locks/.nmbd
socket directory to PREFIX/var/nmbd

I know this is very, very late to raise such things, but I've filed
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8230 in the hope we can have
this more consistent with PREFIX/var/ncalrpc that we area also adding in
this release.  

I came across this while working on a proposal for our default paths for
a 4.0 release, and felt that it would be unfortunate to introduce a new
directory only to rename it 6 months later.
