find some correspondence on a cygwin list about it being missing. Their
solution was to insert something in one of the postinstall scripts. Is
there a more straightforward way of re-creating it on my system? I'm
getting daily reports about logrotate not being able to find it.
TIA.

/var/log/wtmp is created if and only if system accounting is enabled. It holds binary accounting data on what processes have been run and by whoom plus a few other things.
