True. I just looked at mergemaster, but adding it to mergemaster could be unreliable. Say, you're running mergemaster on a different destdir, it would call llimport from the host system, meaning it uses the user database (and byte order) of the host, instead of the target. > In my mind the best way to handle this would be to add it to tools/ > and let users who need it access it that way.

I could do that as well, but the reason why I picked the current approach, is because I don't want to cause people to get confused when they upgrade to 9.0, to discover that their lastlog database is `missing'.
