Hi Thanks for the pointers, Richard. I have a made some changes that seem to work well on FreeBSD. I tried to cover Linux, Mac OS X and Windows as well but those require testing.
I'm quite new with autoconf and I don't know if this is the way to do it so I would appreciate some feedback if someone want to take a look at my patch (attached in this mail).
