[PD] Freebsd port

I have ported PD to FreeBSD 4.3 (if you can call fixing a few compilation issues porting). It runs quite well on my laptop, but I will make no garuntees that it will run on anything else. There are some issues:

1. Full-duplex does not work and locks up my system. This is either a problem with the soundcard driver or the OSS emulation.
2. I used the OSS emulation mode for audio so writing for the native system will probably help a lot (I assume - I know very little about this).
3. I made externals use the filename .pd_freebsd - is this correct?
4. Everything is almost the same as linux with some exceptions (bstring.h, malloc.h, etc). Defining a FREEBSD macro would mean duplicating a lot but checking for freebsd specific code inside of linux specific code seems wrong. What about more fine-grained defines (i.e. #ifdef HAVE_BSTRING) and a config.h or even full autoconf? Guenter, don't you have autoconf going for your debian port?

If anyone wants to give it a try it is in my normal download spot:
