Right now it's not handled at all. We probably shouldn't care about utmp
and lastlog. As long as an administrator can analyze the wtmp files, it
should be fine. I am planning on adding a tool, probably called
wtmpcvt(1), which will allow you to convert it to the new format. Then
you can pass it to last(1)'s -f.
