[Quilt-dev] new compatibility getopt

[Jean Delvare]

Hi all,

I am testing the new compatibility stuff on my Solaris workstation right
now, and have the following problem: /usr/bin/getopt is broken,
configure suggests that I use --with-getopt=none, which I do, but then
configure still tries to check that getopt supports --long. It tests
"getopt" which happens to be /usr/bin/getopt, rather than the
compatibility reimplementation. The check obviously fails, and configure
stops here.

At this point, compat/getopt doesn't exist yet, so we can't seem to
possibly test it. OTOH we ship it so it shouldn't need testing. So the
best thing to do here would be to simply skip tests on each command for
which a compatibility replacement will be used.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to have configure.ac do this, I hope
someone can help.

Thanks,
