[PATCH] fix compilation on GNU/Hurd

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Attached there is a patch (done against SVN r864) to compile libkml on GNU/Hurd.

* configure.ac:
  set PLATFORM as "linux" for GNU-based platforms (thus including also
  Debian's GNU/kFreeBSD), to use the correct paths for Java includes
* third_party/googletest-r108/src/gtest-filepath.cc:
  fix compilation of this older google-test copy, by defining PATH_MAX
  if not defined (like happens on GNU/Hurd); this is just a "quick fix",
  and upgrading the google-test copy to a more recent version will
  fix the issue as well.

Is the PATH_MAX declaration really the appropriate fix on HURD?  I'm not keen 
to try and present it to the gtest upstream owners as is. 

Also, I'm trying to understand why it is necessary that the HURD get treated as 
PLATFORM=linux vs. PLATFORM=unknown.  Is it primariliy for the Java and Python 
build pointers?

It's similar to what the gtest developers did, so this patch should stay local 
for libkml until the next update of the gtest copy.

Yes, basically. I don't know how to eventually replace the two PLATFORM usages 
with cross-platform ways (to get the Python library and the Java includes), 
sorry. (But I can eventually test patches.)

I'm ok with this.  I'm pursuing applying the patch...
