should those fixes go into cvs?

is there a platform-independent alternative?

we should make that configurable by ./configure

there is a function in jk_lib.py called ldd_list_libraries(), it is

we could add a jk_init.ini.freebsd to cvs

in CVS they are created by a function copy_device() in jk_lib.py. It
uses mknod <name> <type> <major> <minor> to create the device. Similar
to ldd_list_libraries() we can make multiple functions for each platform.
