AT&T System V doesn't have it, which is probably why most of the
derivative System V's don't have it.

When I compiled smail 3.1.21, I went into /usr/include and made a
utime.h.  I'm not sure why AT&T didn't put the struct utimbuf
declaration into an include file, but instead required you to put it in
all your programs...What does AT&T think include files are for, anyway?

(The system may not conform to SVID anymore, but I doubt anything's
going to break because <utime.h> exists where it shouldn't.)
