If you're looking for something either to help yourself along, or to 
help others along as they come to grips with the FreeBSD commandline
environment, you might want to look at this:

 http://users.gtn.net/fraserm/psh.html

In the Makefile, you need to replace the "$^" construct with "$>".
(The former is a Linuxism.)

At this point in time, it's only really useful if your shell is /bin/sh 
or /bin/csh, as it tends to get confused otherwise.  It also needs more 
help text contributed, and it's a bit Linux-centric still.  However, 
it's quite promising.

Feedback to the author would be good too.

Enjoy!
