hist(1) is intended for use with vbackup and vnfs,
not with the real Plan 9 dump file system.
the convention there is to mount on /dump and
have backups for a particular system be /dump/sysname/.
if you want exactly the Plan 9 history command,
the best thing to do is copy history.c from a Plan 9
machine and compile it.
