The "#:tests? #f" is a hold-over from a previous mistake.  The tests can
indeed find the lockfile module.

However, I am seeing some non-deterministic hangs in the python2.7
threading module when running the tests.  If the tests don't hang, there
are many, many ERRORs.  I believe the errors are due to the tests
themselves, but I'm not sure about the threading hangs.  Has enyone else
had issues with our python's threading module?
