Roberto E. Vargas Caballero 5afb3862ba Add support for utmp in st
St runs an interactive shell and not a login shell, and it means
that profile is not loaded. The default terminal configuration
in some system is not the correct for st, but since profile is
not loaded there is no way of getting a script configures the
correct values.

St doesn't update the utmp files, this is the job of another
suckless tool, utmp. Utmp also opens a login shell (it is the
logical behaviour when you create a new user record) it is a
good option execute utmp and then get a correct input in
utmp, wtmp and lastlog file, and execute the content of the
profile.

st - simple terminal
--------------------
st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.


Requirements
------------
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.


Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install


Running st
----------
If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile
the st terminfo entry with the following command:

    tic -s st.info

See the man page for additional details.
