Ooo Er..

The lock file is there for unix systems. Actually, I could not bother to
generate it in the first place for windows systems, or (probably more to
the point) go to much more trouble to remove it.

The lock file's purpose is a good one though because it prevents you
starting another cluster process by accident. 

But I will admit that the lockfile processing is a bit unix centric and
could be improved.
