Great, I'm glad it worked.

These should have been defined by the 
  #include <getopt.h>
at the top of the file, if the configure script found that you have
the <getopt.h> header file.  This header file is apparently missing 
on some older platforms, which defined these external variables in other
places like <stdio.h> or <unistd.h>.

I'd be interested if you still see these variables undefined when you compile
the latest beta release or daily snapshot release on whatever platform you're
using. In that case, we would need to provide a portability fix, and would
want to know what you're using (AIX 5.1?, HP-UX 11?).
