it would be great if xwrits could support calling an external locking
program, such as xlock, when called with: +lock

this would add flexibility without hopefully too much complication in
the code.

perhaps the commandline would look something like:

xwrits +lock lockprogram="xlock -mode blank"

thanks for maintaining xwrits.
