Most of the machine dependent code is already done by Linux people.  I 
am just bridging MD code with FreeBSD now.  It is mostly working but 
it has some rough edges.  Most difficulty is build-test-rebuild cycle 
because of my poor laptop is not so fast, CPU, memory and disk.  
OpenOffice.org source is about 300MB, (gzip'd tarball).  It is so big 
because this tarball includes third-party software tarballs (e.g., 
Python, BerkeleyDB, boost, etc.) and local patches for OOo.  
Unfortunately some third-party packages are not patched for 
FreeBSD/amd64.  In that case, I am referencing FreeBSD ports to fix 
them.
