The "utmp-thingies" are used on any *IX that keeps login records, a la
"who", "last", and the like.
A little further digging seems we're only looking at the type and
name fields of the utmp struct, and only in that one place in the code.
These fields are identically named in the 2 types, and serve the same
purpose, so there is no functional difference between what we would pull
from a utmp structure or a utmpx structure.
Substituting utmpx instead of utmp would be a minimal change in the base
<include>, made simpler by autoconfigure, and a determining of which
include we brought in to determine whether *u should be of type utmp or
utmpx. Once that's determined, *u should behave exactly the same.

It seems like the utmp-thingies are only used in linux.
I'll do some more investigations and maybe do some hacking.
I things goes smooth then I'll push a fix to the mob-branch today.

It appars that the new release of FreeBSD (9.0) has removed utmp.h from
its compiler, and that, at least for FreeBSD, including utmpx.h is the
"right" (and now only) option.
I don't _believe_ this has huge downstream ramifications for "modern"
distributions, but we should probably have autoconfigure prefer to use
<utmpx.h> over <utmp.h> if it exists.
