Would you *PLEASE* keep the manpage in sync when you make changes like
this?  I added 'LOGIN_NAME_MAX' to syslimits.h as the manpage totally
didn't mention it.

On a related note, why should 'LOGIN_NAME_MAX' be a run-time value?
One of the most common use of it is "char foo[LOGIN_NAME_MAX];".  Calling
sysconf(3) in this context will not work.
