utmp.h has been removed in HEAD (9.x) but is still present in 8.x and
earlier branches. It looks like cvsweb is buggy in this area.
The build error in ports/149945 may be caused by a stray utmpx related
file found by the configure process. Partly because the various unix
variant developers have made a mess of utmp/utmpx, the code to use it is
rather fragile.
