The project is in its 'prenatal' stage yet, but I'm trying to move a bit
faster towards a buildable source tree on Linux.  As Philip notes:

There's still a fair amount of work to make the source tree buildable on
non-FreeBSD platforms.  One of the next steps should be to make these
FreeBSD-specific bits (mostly stuff from src/sys/sys/cdefs.h) available
outside of the full FreeBSD src/ tree too.

Happily, the FreeBSD source is BSD-licensed, so I can import parts of it
to the bmake source tree easily :)
