I borrowed glibc basename and dirname and added them in compat.c,
renamed with _r and guarded by an ifdef __NetBSD__. GF_BSD_HOST_OS
should not be used, as FreeBSD's implemntation is thread-safe.

It works fine. I also fixed  a few additionnal bugs in the code where
a pointer returned by dirname is free'ed. Even on Linux this may break,
as calling dirname("") will return "." (as mandated by SUSv2) from 
static storage. I am not sure such a situation arise with glusterfs, 
though.

Who wants my patches?
