Oops, you're right. It used to, though, back in 2002, and that's what I
found on my system... Apparently, nothing else attempts to create
/var/log/wtmp, though. I wonder why Chuck decided to ditch the
postinstall script? In any case, as I said before, /var/log/wtmp should
be created ('touch'ed, most likely) by the packages that need it.

FYI, you can use "cygcheck -cd | grep cygu" to greatly speed up the
process...
