watch on HP-UX 10.20

[Darren Marshall]

I have recently upgraded to zsh from tcsh and I am mightily impressed. However,
I did find that the login/logout event reporting is not working. I am using
version 3.0.5 and after a little debugging I found the problem lies in the
following lines in system.h

#ifdef UTMPX_FILE                                /* Solaris, SysVr4 */
# undef  UTMP_FILE
# define UTMP_FILE UTMPX_FILE
#endif

#ifdef WTMPX_FILE                                /* Solaris. SysVr4 */
# undef  WTMP_FILE
# define WTMP_FILE WTMPX_FILE
#endif

Unfortunately, the utmp.h header file on HP-UX defines UTMPX_FILE. After hacking
system.h to ensure the right definition of UTMP_FILE everything works fine.

Does the utmpx file actually exist?  We could check for its existence
in configure, and only use a file that does exist.

Yes it does. The utmpx.h header file also exists but configure chose to ignore
it. I tried defining HAVE_UTMPX_H in config.h but then I got compilation errors
which I assumed to be the reason configure ignored it so I didn't investigate
any further and altered system.h instead.
