Revision: I've got Judy running properly under FreeBSD.  Now it's only
bogofilter that fails to compile.  In fact, it comes up with about 40
lines of explanation for the failure.

Somehow I suspect that Eric S. Raymond probably writes pretty good code,
so the failure is probably mine rather than his.

Is there any particular secret to compiling arbitrary code that is not
autoconf-based and is intended for use on linux?  Could someone with
more C savvy perhaps look at http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/bogofilter/ ?
