This *might* be workable. However, in general - a large part of the
reason why I use FreeBSD is that the FreeBSD base system gives me
most of what I want, in *one* well defined chunk, *without* having
to install a zillion extra packages, and without umpteen different
versions of config files and locations for the important information.

So please don't destroy this.
