FreeBSD Support "Out of the Box"

[Gleep]

I'm working on getting SEQ up and running on my FBSD box, not done yet, but making progress. (SEQ's not liking my Qt install, but that a different issue, and not the point of this post.)

Here's a DIFF that can be applied to confiure.in that will include the FreeBSD Naming Conventions for gcc/g++ 3.0 that's included in our Ports Collection:

configure.in.diff

Okay, FBSD's Autoconf port package provides interesting additional information displayed on the screen while executing:

gmake -f Makefile.dist no-backup

... turns out the code to grab the version number needs a little tweaking for use on FBSD (and avoid the extra garbage being displayed.)

I'm not a programmer, I just poke around and play with it until it works.

I don't know what:

echo -ne "blah blah blah"

does on a Linux box, but the "e" in the option means nothing to FBSD and thus produces additional garbage on the screen.

Anyway, here's a diff :
