    _______________________________________________________

Details:

POSIX does not require LINE_MAX (if left undefined, it implies that no tool
has an inherent maximum line size).  Cygwin does not define it, and as a
result, xargs fails to compile out of the box.

Attaching a patch:

        * xargs/xargs.c (main): Don't assume LINE_MAX exists.
