Description

The runConfigure shipped with Xerces C++ 2.0.0-3 looks for /usr/bin/getopt. My
system (a Slackware 9.0 distro) has /bin/getopt.

It took me a while to figure this out, though, since it doesn't fail
intelligently when it can't find /usr/bin/getopt. Instead, it prints out the
generic usage.
