Odd.  There is OPSYS==SunOS support in devel/libgetopt/Makefile; I wonder
if/when it ever worked.

However, that's heavyweight and not a shared object, so it's not currently
the proper way to do that for libidn.  Were libnbcompat built with libtool
to produce a shared object, that would be OK.

(There's a more flexible function-replacement framework in work by, I
believe, jmmv.)

I'm going to do a stopgap fix today that will pull the libgetopt sources
fully into pkgsrc and remove dependencies on BSD-ish headers.
