[bug-myserver] Undeclared variable `gets' throws make error.

[Michael Pagan]

Hello MyServer developers!

I know nothing about servers, but I wanted to install GNU MyServer so
that I can host a new website using your server software; however, I
encountered the following error during `make':

    make[4]: Entering directory `/home/pagan/Desktop/progs/myserver-0.11/lib'
      CC     argp-ba.lo
      CC     argp-eexst.lo
    In file included from /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/types.h:219:0,
                     from ./stdio.h:60,
                     from argp.h:22,
                     from argp-eexst.c:25:
    ./stdio.h:1012:1: error: 'gets' undeclared here (not in a function)
     _GL_WARN_ON_USE (gets, "gets is a security hole - use fgets instead");
     ^
    make[4]: *** [argp-eexst.lo] Error 1
    ...

After reading the source code, I learned that `gets' is obsolete, and
that `fgets' is preferred.  I was able to bypass the error by commenting
out lines 690-700 in file `./lib/stdio.in.h', which removes all
programmatic mentions of `gets'.  Once the lines were commented out, I
ran `./configure; sudo make; sudo make install', and the compilation and
installation went just fine.  I'm not sure if this is the preferred
solution, but if it is: I've attached a patch for you to see what I
changed.

Yes, now I can say that I use an official GNU package as my server
software!  Thanks for all your hard work, and good documentation.  If I
run into any problems during my setup, I shall report back here.

I welcome your feedback,
Michael Pagan
