Is this a directory that you know should exist, or is it a suggestion of
a place that it might be if someone possibly has ported it?  The reason
I ask, is because no such directory exists on freebsd.cdrom.com under
FreeBSD-current/ports.

I do have a version running and compiled under NetBSD.  The only thing
that needs to be changed is the checkKeyboard routine, since it contains
some Sun specific calls.  I have a hack that would get you going, but
would like to come up with a different way of doing it.  Send email if
you want details or are interested in bouncing some ideas back and
forth.
