[pass] Problem detecting `getopt' on Mac OS X with MacPorts installed

Hi,

Great work with this password manager for Unix systems. However, I had a problem running it on Mac OS X with MacPorts installed. It seems that the `darwin.sh’ file is looking for `getopt’ with `brew --prefix gnu-getopt’. On my system, this is the result of this command

$ brew —prefix gnu-getopt
/usr/local/Cellar/gnu-getopt/1.1.4

However, there is no such directory on my computer. So Brew is giving unverified information. In the patch, I just proposed to use the `which’ command instead, in order to find `getopt’. This way, it should also works with MacPorts (which default is `/opt/local/bin/getopt’).

Hope this help.

A last thing, I made a patch with Git but this is my first patch so I’m sorry if I did it wrong (and any help and suggestions are welcome for my futures participation).
