getopt-posix: No longer guarantee that option processing is resettable.
* doc/posix-functions/getopt.texi: Drop description of problem with internal state. Fix info about mingw and msvc9. * m4/getopt.m4 (gl_GETOPT_CHECK_HEADERS): Don't require a resettable option processing by getopt(). Run three test programs instead of one. Simplify cross-compilation guess. * NEWS: Mention the change. Reported by Rich Felker <dalias@aerifal.cx>.

+2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
+ processing is resettable. If your code uses
+ 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
+ only one pass over the argument array.
+
2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
Use STREQ_OPT instead.
