I really think it's time to start using GNU Autoconf.  It's 
specifically designed to take care of things like this.  You would be 
able to compile and run a program during the configure process to see 
whether the system getopt exists and is capable enough, then set a 
define HAVE_GNU_GETOPT=1 if so.
