new modules getopt-posix, getopt-gnu

There is quite some confusion in the getopt module about which functionality requires which replacement. For example, while mingw fails to provide a working POSIX compliant getopt() function, systems like MacOS X, Cygwin, HP-UX, Solaris provide this but fail in the GNU compatibility section. So a p

getopt needs extensions

According to POSIX, should declare optarg, optind, etc. But on Solaris, the system header does this only if __EXTENSIONS__ is defined. This makes its use in gnulib automatic: 2009-08-12 Bruno Haible Ensure that optarg etc. get declared by . * m4/getopt.m4 (gl_GETOPT_CHECK_HEA

gl_GETOPT_SUBSTITUTE gone

Bruno, The recent removal of gl_GETOPT_SUBSTITUTE broke argp.m4. Argp depends on GNU getopt internals, so it is safer to always include gnulib's version of getopt even if libc's one behaves identically to GNU. Will it suffice to do this: diff --git a/m4/argp.m4 b/m4/argp.m4 index 7263a56..aeb2aeb
