 We have started sysvinit utils consolidation long time ago
 (mountpoint, utmpdump, etc.). I'd like to finish this task in v2.24.

 The goal is to make sysvinit[-tools] package unnecessary and maintain
 generic init independent commands in utils-linux (and procps).

 v2.24 changes:
 
 * I have merged last/lastb from sysvinit
  
   The sysvinit implementation is better than the original util-linxu
   code. The problem is that command line options are incompatible, so
   the old util-linxu version is temporary available by
   --enable-deprecated-last.

 * wall(1) from util-linux has been improved to accept a message on
   command line to be compatible with sysvinit implementation.

 * mesg(1) seems already compatible, so no change.

 All the commands are enabled by default now.  Use --disable-{last,wall,mesg}
 if you don't like this decision.

 Thanks to Ondrej (in CC) for his help with this boring work.

    Karel
