#261: augrun.c uses strchrnul() which is unavailable on some platforms (need
newer gnulib?)

----------------------+---------------------
Building augeas 0.10.0 on x86_64-sun-solaris2.10 with the Oracle/Sun
Studio 12.2 compiler toolchain.
I get a link error because of a missing symbol, strchrnul(), which isn't
part of Solaris' libc. Augeas' copy of gnulib provides replacements for
other missing or rejected functions, and
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/MODULES.html implies that strchrnul()
is part of current gnulib. Although I see a configure test to determine
whether strchrnul() is declared (it isn't), it appears that the copy of
gnulib shipped with augeas doesn't actually check for strchrnul() or
provide a replacement.
Looking at current gnulib, it appears it does include a replacement. Not
sure what's involved in updating gnulib, but I believe updating to a
recent version would fix this issue.
I worked around the issue for now by using a simple implementation of
strchrnul() from the web and defining it statically in augrun.c
