I've just added a module 'getnline' to gnulib that contains a getnline()
and getndelim() function. This is a separate module from 'getline' but
it shares the essential source code with the 'getline' module. Hope that's
all that you needed.

I don't think so. gettext for example needs getline(), but there's no
point of compiling getnline() into libgettextlib.so.
The way I've done it now, programs which need both getline() and getnline()
will end up with two copies of the same code, on non-glibc systems. OTOH,
if you do it differently, you end up with getnline() code on glibc systems,
for programs which only need getline(). The latter seems worse to me.
