This is wrong, because many other systems will still fail.  You'd have
to add a configure script, which I think is not worth the effort.

The program should simply be changed to not use getprogname nor
setprogname at all.  This is _trivial_ to do (simply removing the
last getprogname() call), and I don't know why the original code uses
them (because it's hardcoding the program name anyway) -- well, being
NetBSD friendly was probably the reason ;)

(Besides, your patch does not respect the current style in the code.)
