I've been trying to get the latest cvs version working under freebsd4.2 
today.  The new utmp/wtmp stuff from rxvt is a complete mess, the
configure.in doesn't work properly and so on.  for example
it didn't even care if there was no wtmp.h.

Additionally there were quite a few missing system headers like
sys/time.h, netinet/in.h...

And finally when I got it to compile it didn't work. but that was 
propably my own fault, something with the hostname I think. :(

Anyway, I'll try to clean up the fixes tomorrow and post a diff somewhere.
