Once my dirname patch is applied, there will be last_component which does
the same thing as what your new __argp_base_name does. Prior to my
dirname patch, the existing base_name does the same as your
__argp_base_name (that is, find the base name within a string rather than
allocating a copy). By using the correct method to get the basename, you
can avoid having to free state->name afterwards.
Usually, module owners post their patches to bug-gnulib for review, so I
was a bit surprised when you just applied it; but it did work for me.
