Use of "getline" breaks compilation on Mac OS X 10.6

[jacknagel]

OS X 10.6 and older do not provide the "getline" function which is used in geoipupdate.c.

The usual approach is to detect this at configure time and provide some kind of fallback implementation.

I don't use this software myself, but a Homebrew user on 10.6 reported the issue: Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#25865

If you have the opportunity, please check if the workaround in bz/workaround-missing-getline works.

I found this issue after getting the build failure using homebrew on Mac OS 10.6.8. The branch works for me. For other homebrew users who find this page from the downstream bug report, here are the exact steps to try this patch:

I used
brew edit geoipupdate
to edit the recipe, adding the branch option to the url line in the head function to make it say
url 'https://github.com/maxmind/geoipupdate.git', :branch => 'bz/workaround-missing-getline'
and then did
brew install --HEAD geoipupdate

Thanks. This was fixed by #4.
