Yes.  In vorbis-tools we include a copy of getopt.h and getopt.c to avoid this
problem.  Presumably we'll have to do the same thing for the theora examples.

Two problems:

1) You need to update your libvorbis to the latest CVS.  vorbis_granule_time()
was added after 1.0.
2) By copying the getopt.h header, you've given the compiler the getopt_*
function prototypes, but the linker doesn't have any function bodies to link to.
 To fix:

        * Copy the getopt.c file from vorbis-tools/share/ to the
        theora/examples directory.
        * Edit Makefile.am to include getopt.c as one of the source files for
        the encoder_example.
        * Rerun autogen.sh and recompile.

This should fix the problem.
