hmmm I need to analyze to know how getopt is implemented on irix.

as a workaround, in libetpan main directory, find the following line
in the Makefile.am :

SUBDIRS = build-windows include src tests doc

and remove "tests"
tests are not needed to build libetpan even though they are useful to
test it or understand the usage.
