Please don't use libutil.a anymore.  All functionality intentionally
exported from libutil.a is now exported genuinely by the Cygwin DLL
itself, beginning with release 1.5.5.  These functions are

  getusershell
  setusershell
  endusershell
  daemon
  forkpty
  login_tty
  logwtmp
  openpty
  revoke

Additionally, Cygwin exports updwtmp now, too.

Libutil.a is deprecated and will not be part of future inetutils
releases anymore.
