Current logind (in systemd v205+) depends on systemd instead of
implementing its own cgroup handling. Thus, if you want to implement the
logind API for non-systemd machines, you will need to create and
maintain a separate program for that - either create a fork based on the
standalone logind code from old systemd or write a new program. Or
alternatively implement all the systemd APIs required by current logind
in your own init or its helper processes.
