I've asked Luca to update his blog post and/or re-test on FreeBSD and
he's said he would. We've moved to using autoconf and friends, and it's
all in C now, so it really shouldn't be as much of an issue these days.
I recall someone else building on FreeBSD not long ago, but not finding
a reference to it offhand.
