Indeed. At the very least I'd like to try to help out getting any required
FreeBSD patches merged into TeXmacs properly. I don't mind if the TeXmacs
port lags behind TeXmacs-stable, but I'd like to at least be able to
compile the new development versions on my FreeBSD laptop like I do my
Linux desktop.

Thanks for the info..
