Re: website for GNU/FreeBSD port

["Nathan Hawkins" <utsl@quic.net>]

I've just finished* patching native libc (5.0) with a compatible 
implementation of getpwent, getspent, and related functions. (Basically I 
expanded my libshadow slightly, and patched it directly into libc5.)
With that, I believe the only major remaining compatibility problem is 
solved. 

libc5 has getopt_long, nl_langinfo, and seems to have enough wide character 
support to fix the unicode problems. I already had utmpx, so adding 
compatible /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow support into libc should fix the only 
major issue with debian on native libc.
