I started working on converting the Makefiles to FreeBSD's ports system,
but stopped when I noticed that some of the distfiles are greater than
4MB in size.  I'm on a dialup connection until Thursday and thus downloading
lots of 4MB files is really slow.  I can continue working on testing the
Makefile conversion when I get back to campus on Thursday.  If there
is any major source patching required to make this port build with FreeBSD 
then this port will be above my current abilities.  At the moment I'm not 
stuck, but I also don't have a majority of the festival package downloaded.
