Looks like all other implementations ipsec-tools runs on have both
utmp.h and utmpx.h, so I am actually considering y just switch from
utmp.h to utmpx.h (for example using the patchset sent yesterday on
this list), and keep a reverse patch for FreeBSD's port if OS version
is "old enough".

As we just use utmp.h in a single part of the code, any other solution
may be very complex for just that.....
