: It identified my system as FreeBSD 1.1 (it's really 2.0-RELEASE) and 
: produced quite a few errors.  (it's on www.faslab.com, btw)

Hmmm.  2.0R had an old version of GCC that was unable to compile
Fresco due to it not supporting nested classes properly.  Also, older
versions of XFree86 would misidentify FreeBSD 2.0R because imake
effectively hard coded that value.

I've compiled Fresco on a 2.0R system a long long long time ago.  I
used a snapshot that was billed to fix the fresco compile problem
from the gcc folks.  It seemed to, and I reported that back to them.
