It's the other way around: Not *BSD needs a special treatment, but
getopt_long() only exists on GNU systems (it depends on GNU, not the
Linux kernel), nowhere else.

A short time fix would be to
 1) detect the presence of the getopt.h header using autoconf and only
    #include that header if it exists, and
 2) use getopt_long() only in this case and just use getopt(), else.

(Yes, this reduces functionality on non-GNU systems, but basically it
they still will work.)

Alternately, the getopt package needs to become a part of Wine, i.e.,
imported into Wine CVS.
