Do you have access to a bsd machine?
I have never worked in bsd, so I don't know what the standard procedure
to distinguish the systems is.

Would something like

if [uname|grep BSD]
	/* bsd related configure options */
else
	/* General options */

work?

Please test the uname in a bsd, and post the correct invocation.

I'll then unify the sources. The only changes is that the dynamic
library is in -ldl in Linux and in -lc in bsd.

I have not used automake before, so I don't know how to do this in
configure.in. I'll do it directly in configure, as per the bsd patches.

If somebody with access to osx wants to help, we can integrate the osx
patch as well.
