Hello Luigi,

Even though I agree having all these small libraries is not the way to=20
go, I really want to have the ulog functions in a separate library.=20
libulog is meant to be a migration tool towards a real utmpx=20
implementation. It basically implements the subset of utmpx we can
support, but with a ulog_-prefix. I don't want to advertise it as being
utmpx itself, this would only cause autofoo-based ports to break.

By the time we gain proper utmpx support, I want to be able to phase out
libulog, or at least move its non-redundant functionality into libutil.

I guess libulog will be history by the time we release FreeBSD 10.0.
