Therefore I made a somewhat different solution.
It is also a "forcecheckin" usecase wihin our publications
including a new
action (ForcedCheckInAction).
It simple checks wheter a node is really checked-out, get the user
who
checked the page out and the respective check-out date.
The new user who wants to edit this page gets a "warning" screen
saying
that the page is already checked out by another user xy at 12.12.2999
12:20.Then he has the possiblity to check the page in (or to
cancel of course).
We made the usecase available only in the site area. That means
everbody
who can access the node in the site area might check in the page.
If this solution is of interest for you i can document it on the
wiki too.

Yes, please do! This is a key usability feature currently missing
from Lenya, and IMHO it should be incorporated into Lenya and made the
default behavior.
I was planning to make a usecase like this myself. Would it be possible
to submit a patch?
Jann is committer and can check this in (if he wishes). It would be
really nice to have it in our code base because this issue is always
coming up again.
I did not check it in because it was probably not the intend to enable
such kind of check-in (by a different user). Anyway it was a feature
which was often wished from our users.
I can now:
- document it on the wiki and can upload the source code of the necessary
Action. - or made it available for the default publication and check
it in
(lenya-1.2.x).
well, we could add a menu item "Force checkin" or something like that ...

The proposed solution involves prompting the user to break the lock
when the user tries to edit the file, right? IMHO that is sufficient
for now, but if someone wants to add it to the menu too, okay.
as you are saying, adding it to the "dialog" is actually much better
than to the menu
Ultimately I'd wish for a screen under the Admin tab that lists all
the documents currently locked (and the locker's name and date
locked). That page could have controls for forced unlocking of any of
the documents listed.
you might want to add this to Bugzilla as an enhancement bug, whereas I see
good chances for something like that within 1.4-dev in combination with JCR
