Please, do also add a magic number, sort of.  I already had a hard
time in doing the heuristics for the current transition, have a look
at src/tools/3.0-upgrade/cvt-wtmp.c.  If we're going to bloat the
structure by much more than we did now, we should also add some sort
of magic number to allow for a better heuristics.
