have you compiled and/or used this, or know anyone who has?  the last 
piece of development news for this project was over seven years ago:

seb(/usr/local/src/FreeSpeech-0.1.2)$ cat NEWS
1999/08/20: End of term for the three of us... good luck with the software!

okay...  the source fails to configure on nevada:

checking for gnome-config... no
checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found
configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated 
by gnome-libs install
configure: error: /bin/bash './configure' failed for vflow

there is also other strange output during configure:

./configure: line 1551: test: =: unary operator expected
./configure: line 1631: test: =: unary operator expected

and:

/usr/local/src/FreeSpeech-0.1.2/missing: Unknown `--run' option
Try `/usr/local/src/FreeSpeech-0.1.2/missing --help' for more information
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing

how ironic.  it doesn't look like this stuff is at all baked (which 
isn't surprising given the version number), or hasn't been compiled on 
recent versions of solaris (and/or recent versions of gnome).
