I've found implementation of getline function in tar sources that come
with FreeBSD. I guess the best thing would be to make simple port out of
it, with single .h file with static functions, which can be included in
any place where it is needed. Is it OK to place GPL sources into the
ports tree? (it would be silly to make distfile for single 3kb .h file)
