CONFIGURE_ARGS =        --enable-utmp

In reality, it doesn't write utmp entries.  It can't.  It would
need to be setgid utmp for this.  The code seems to be there, so I
simply made it setgid utmp.  Surprisingly, this causes urxvt to
fail completely:

urxvt: protocol error while reading pty/tty fds from helper process,
aborting.

I've looked a bit over the code and ktrace'd a run, but there is
no obvious reason for the error.  I suspect there is a problem with
the IPC, probably the file descriptor passing.
