I started a try to build it but the shells of brl-cad were so
ill behaving that I didn't get ahead. I'm still asking myself
what is so superior to 'cake' that it cannot be done by 'make'.

I started to make some changes to the .sh scripts so that it understands
a conditional FreeBSD but I never got very far with it.

Please answer via email so we can exchange our experience.
