To be honest, I'd rather keep the development branch off any official distribution. It's *very* alpha-quality at the moment and only released for interested parties. I don't want hundreds of emails from FreeBSD users complaining that 1.1x is buggy... 1.05 (stable branch) is on my site now and *should* compile without any modifications. Please use this one!
