I don't have access to a FreeBSD 5.x machine, so if you can figure this
out, please send a patch. Basically you need to take a look into
db_getopt.h, configure.in, acincludes.m4 to see if the tests for GNU-style
getopt are correct for FreeBSD 5.3.
This has all been tested on FreeBSD 4.7 and OpenBSD 3.6, but apparently
FreeBSD 5.x is doing something differently!

Very sage advice. Thanks, Aaron.
NOTE: I didn't think FBSD 4.7 had native GNU-like getopt -- not until 5.0
branch for native getopt. Anyway, so Aaron you may have a magic-bullet
solution in the contrib getopt on your 4.7 host.
Anyway... for FBSD 4.8 /4.9 /4.10 and 4.11 (don't have 4.7) build fails
for 2_0_Branch since about 01/15/2005
TO FIX THIS ...
For FBSD 4.x Versions only: I link /usr/local/include/getopt.h to
./dm_getopt.h to build dm_getopt.o after installing getopt-1.1.3_1 from
/usr/ports/misc/getopt. (I tried forcing with configure.in to use contrib
getopt in /usr/local but no luck.)
so, to dbmail install directory after installing getopt-1.1.3_1
mv dm_getopt.h dm_getopt.h.ORIG
ln -s /usr/local/include/getopt.h ./dm_getopt.h
./configure --with-XXsql
gmake
gmake install
/* everything happy but I guess that's a wierd way to do this */
More to do on FBSD 5.3 but it is building OK by altering configure.in or
config.in to remove dm_getopt and use native getopt (/usr/include/ not
/usr/local/include. That's wierd. Configure should have decided that on
its own (?)
I wonder if dm_getopt is a nicely intended convenience but a
cross-platform breaker. Perhaps a require OS-specific getopt is safer. The
latter might be more 'future proof'.
I will try and finalize something.
