Hi Brian,
It does not take that long to ask a vendor for a FreeBSD port. All we have
to do is to make sure that the bean counters at the software companies
to keep track of the FreeBSD port requests. Such an effort IHMO
is far less than having the hackers hammered away at the emulation layers
in FreeBSD. Additionally, the two efforts need *not* be exclusive !
