Thanks Alex. Based on the description on the website I thought it
would build out of the box but it seems not to be the case. I applied
a handful of patches to get it building on FreeBSD, including the
parts currently disabled on __APPLE__. I'll post them here as I go
through and make sure they should not regress Linux.

Hmm, this is strange: I'd expect -pthread to be included, via LDLIBS
in the Makefile.
