Building IcedTea7 Using BSD option On OS X

[Michael Franz]

Christian,

I have had some success using Cacao.  The instructions you pointed me too
seem out of date and seem be part of some other discussion (I feel like I am
starting in the middle of something when I read them).

the --with-cacao is not a valid options, but --enable-cacao is (I am using
icedtea7).

I will spend some more time trying to figure out what is possible, and
hopefully be able to build with cacao.
