A patch from Apple went to this list a little while back.  It didn't get
in, but if you can find and revive it, it might get a more positive
reception labelled 'FreeBSD' :-)

(Actually, the main issue is ensuring it doesn't break any other
platforms, and that the tests are correct for all versions of *BSD *and*
the other platforms).
