Mark Bradshaw originally sent me the patch to add both last and utmpdump 
to cygutils.  He took the code from sysvinit.  There are no significant 
changes to the code between the version in Sergey's package and the 
version in cygutils(*).

I have no objections to removing those two programs from cygutils. 
However, that change (to cygutils) should be made BEFORE or 
SIMULTANEOUSLY with the release of the "real" sysvinit package, to 
prevent messing up people's installations.

Since it looks like sysvinit is a done deal for eventual inclusion, I'll 
go ahead an work on removing those two progs from cygutils ASAP.

About the packaging -- I think I should be able to install sysvinit 
without it getting setup automatically for use.  e.g. what if I just 
want to "restore" utmpdump and last to my machine, without the overhead 
of the init.exe program being shoved into my boot process?

IOW, I think the original postinstall script could instead be installed 
as /usr/bin/init-config.  The README could simply say "To setup init on 
your machine, edit /etc/inittab as appropriate and run 
/usr/bin/init-config."

strptime function (and before cygwin exported it).  That code is no 
longer necessary.
