Well here is the complete patch for the changes for libbrokenos to 
compile here. Mostly needed to add some more headers needed to compile 
poll. Also got a parse error in getnameinfo so I looked up the freebsd 
manpage 
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=getnameinfo&sektion=3&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASE)
and changed the DWORD to size_t.
Unluckily compiling FFmpeg is another matter, due to using the same 
header names as the system uses there are conflicts and I get various 
errors depending on how I arrange things. I think that any headers 
included with libbrokenos should have unique names.
