gss 1.0.3 doesn't build on OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard due to use of getline()

From my POV, I just want it to work, and one way is as good as another. :-)  But I think Ryan's point is that the originators should ideally deal with this sort of thing, and perhaps it should get patched or otherwise worked around in MacPorts only if they refuse to.  That's probably a better solution insofar as it would also help people using homebrew or fink, or building directly; not to mention that workarounds have a growing maintenance burden of their own.  But the time required seems to be proportional to the square of the number of people involved, so those of us who just want to do "port upgrade outdated" on a regular basis, and have nothing fail, would have longer to wait. :-)
