It probably better not to rename the distribution, but to just add the check
for freebsd to the BSD check.

1. You shouldn't be patching a patch file, as it is hard to keep track of
the patches.

2. The patch for the RAND_CMD, in mod_frontpage.c, shouldn't use
"(__FreeBSD__)", but should use "(defined(BSD) & BSD > 199103)" instead.
Makes the patch more general so that NetBSD & OpenBSD users can use the same
patch.

All of the above changes are already included in the Apache-FP port. Plus
additional patches for the shtml.dll - shtml.exe problem, Encryption Problem
(when des not installed, passwords created by fpsrvadm.exe don't work).

The port is currently, going through the process of being submitted to the
ports collection (see pr 4878).

The port for apache v1.26 is available from
http://www.westbend.net/~hetzels/apache-fp

A port for apache v1.3b6 is also available from
http://www.westbend.net/~hetzels/apache-fp/beta.html
