To top this off, someone would have to rewrite the Makefile so that it
works with POSIX makes, too, and not just GNU make as it is now.

We've needed to do the equivalent for the FreeBSD port, Michael Helmeste
was so kind as to make me aware of the issue and this possible solution.

IOW, if you're installing on FreeBSD, use the official port in version
2.0.6_4 and all this is automatic - no 2.0.9 port needed since all fixes
since then were relevant for Windoze and we don't need to toss hundreds
of MBytes around for no good.
