VLC media player compilation reportedly fails due to getline() not being defined.

Forwarded from https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/3503:

| gmake[4]: Entering directory `/usr/home/igor/vlc-1.1.0-pre1/src' 
|  CC config/libvlccore_la-dirs_xdg.lo 
|  config/dirs_xdg.c: In function 'config_GetTypeDir': config/dirs_xdg.c:141: | error: implicit declaration of function 'getline' 
|  FreeBSD have not getline().

getline() and getdelim() are specified by POSIX here:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getline.html
>How-To-Repeat:
C-compile the following test case:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
        char *line = NULL;
        size_t linesize = 0;
        ssize_t linelen;

        while ((linelen = getline(&line, &linesize, stdin)) != -1)
                fwrite(line, 1, linelen, stdout);

        free(line);

        if (ferror(stdin))
        {
                perror("Standard input");
                return 1;
        }
        return 0;
}
