As a test, I installed Freenet on a FreeBSD machine (8.1-RELEASE amd64)
using the headless installer[1] and noticed some oddity when it
bootstrapped.

The 1run.sh script ran just fine, but when it downloaded
wrapper_FreeBSD.zip and unpacked it, the zipfile appeared to contain the
linux wrapper code instead. As the required wrapper binary did not
exist, run.sh proceeded to run the jvm in foreground.

When I checked the originating site for the appropriate wrapper[2], I
noticed that they did have wrapper packages for FreeBSD x86 and amd64,
although they are built for an earlier OS version (6.x). Once I stuck
the appropriate binary and library from this package into the Freenet
directory (and installed compat6x to solve missing library errors), it
appears to run perfectly fine.

Are the erroneous contents of the wrapper_FreeBSD.zip file just an
oversight, or is this a side effect of a lack of inherent FreeBSD
support within Freenet?
