>Description:

	bb port tries to run 'bbconfig freebsd' but if "." is not on your path
	it will fail.  Port makefile should be changed to "./bbconfig freebsd"

>How-To-Repeat:

	since one should not have "." on one's path this should be easily 
	repeatable

>Fix:
	
	change to "./bbconfig freebsd"

>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
