Actually, with some help from some other folks, I have libh compiling.
Unfortunately right now what happens when you run the disk partition
editor (only test script I have atm) tclsh gives a Bus error and core
dumps.  *sigh*  However, I have it stuck in a CVS repo that Jordan wants
to move to a *.freebsd.org machine where I'll probably setup pserver or
some such to allow people to work on it and get it into a good working
state before importing it into the tree.
