 I have passed this patch on to the xephem developers and they said 
 they will consider it.  In the meantime they do not want us to patch 
 the FreeBSD port.

 However, regardless of the validity of this patch, I ask that you not 
 include it in the freebsd ports version of
 XEphem. Our policies prohibit redistribution of modified versions of 
 XEphem other than non-functional changes required
 for proper operation on a given platform, which this is clearly 
 beyond. This policy avoids confusion amongst users
 regarding exactly what it is they are running when they run "XEphem", 
 and avoids proliferation of forked sources. Now
 and in the future, please always just use the current free version of 
 XEphem source code as posted on our web site
 when building for the freebsd port collection.
