Changes: The raw ('--raw') output was highly improved. The whole wtmp database is dumped if no user is specified. An error code of 1 is returned if the editing of the wtmp file fails. Unknown fake users are not accepted when patching the wtmp file. Timestamps are always preserved when editing the wtmp file (the '--preserve' option has been removed).

Changes: Now it's possible to replace a user logged at a given time or in all the records of the wtmp database with another one.
