Hi all,

utmp.h has been removed from FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT.  This means Emacs from
trunk can no longer build on FreeBSD 9.X or newer because src/filelock.c
tries to include <utmp.h>.

The filelock.c code uses the sysctl interface in FreeBSD, so we don't
really need utmp.h to have a working Emacs version.  So I patched
configure.in to check for availability of utmp.h and then filelock.c to
use HAVE_UTMP_H around the include statement.

This seems to work fine, but before updating the packages of Emacs on
FreeBSD I thought I'd ask: does this seem like a reasonable fix?  Should
we patch the Emacs trunk too?

The following patch should apply cleanly on the bzr-trunk of Emacs at
revision lekktu@gmail.com-20100118044436-c8dozy11mbqky3qh

Then 'configure' has to be regenerated too, and we should be set :-)
