 Hi Matt,

Thanks! Your email hadn't reached the entire vbox-dev group so including
them.

On FreeBSD 7.0, it seems that the devel/dev86 port conflicts with devel/bcc
& devel/bin86. So I had to remove those 2 ports to install the devel/dev86
port.

Things are looking good now and the above build errors have been eliminated.

I have a patch for the main "trunk/configure". Can this be applied to trunk.
It will ease a few build problems.
