Thanks! I am excited to hear about this. While I don't have much free 
time to create and push webrevs, I can try to keep up with questions 
about the bsd specific changes.

One thing to note was that the bsd-port source code was carefully 
imported to avoid any changes that Sun (now Oracle) didn't have rights 
to. Mainly that meant skipping JRL licensed submissions when we imported 
the code. Greg and I have been careful only accept changes from people 
who have have signed the Sun/Oracle Contributor Agreement since then.

Not really. They were imported to change Linux to BSD with sed 
's/linux/bsd/g; s/Linux/Bsd/g; s/LINUX/BSD/g' for clarity.

Thanks,
