Ugh. I did the most recent pass on the autoconf stuff. Painful.

Don't know about the other maintainers, but I don't have a freebsd system to test on (or the time, to be honest.) If you come up with a patch that doesn't break linux/os x, it'd be great.

The easiest fix would be run "gmake" instead of "make" when it exists (Your makefile has GNU-specific stuff)
