Synopsis: pkgsrc FEATURES framework doesn't support setprogname/getprogname

Responsible-Changed-From-To: pkg-manager->tnn
Responsible-Changed-By: tnn%NetBSD.org@localhost
Responsible-Changed-When: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 20:23:44 +0000
Responsible-Changed-Why:
I'm doing work in this area.
Note however that it's tricky to provide a portable fallback
implementation of setprogname()/getprogname() because the only
way to do this on some platforms is to overwrite whatever is
in argv[0], and getting that pointer can be nontrivial.
