So long as there's a compatibility API (since some things already understand
svr4 utmpx), no problem....

: #define	_PATH_UTMPX	"/var/run/utmpx"
: #define	_PATH_WTMPX	"/var/log/wtmpx"
: #define	_PATH_LASTLOG	"/var/log/lastlogx"

Please use different filenames, since these will not be binary compatible
with svr4.  You'll end up confusing svr4 binaries running under emulation by
reusing these names with a different format.
