   Note, with the library fixes in FreeBSD, most everything compiles

As a point of reference: I have had no trouble at all with any
non-broken third party programs under NetBSD since the various sh bugs
were fixed.  (Some of these bug fixes were not in 0.9 and are not yet
in FreeBSD.)  And I have compiled a *lot* of third party software, on
both the i386 and hp300 ports...
