well since the source isn't actually yet OS (we're negotiating with the
main authors) that would be pretty hard.

I'm fairly sure I can just change the config.h file that Python builds
during its build, but I think you're right about the build from source
being the way to go.

Several people have told me that wchar.h isn't available on freeBSD, but
it was available to the package builder and other evidence suggests it's
coming soon.
