:Also, should MAXLOGNAME either be specific tied to UT_NAMESIZE?  Or is 
:there a POSIX reason for the seperation?

    I think the problem is that MAXLOGNAME is in sys/param.h, which should
    not depend on something in /usr/include (utmp.h).  There is also a 
    pollution issue, we don't want sys/param.h to #include utmp.h or utmp.h
    to #include sys/param.h.  I am going to leave them separate for now.
