Does someone here handle the FreeBSD case in some way?  What about:

AC_CHECK_FUNCS([getopt_long],,
[#FreeBSD has a gnugetopt library for this:
  AC_CHECK_LIB([gnugetopt],[getopt_long],
[AC_DEFINE([HAVE_GETOPT_LONG])],
[# use the gnu replacement
AC_LIBOBJ(getopt)
AC_LIBOBJ(getopt1)])])

I don't see any use of getopt.h in the version of getopt I use.
