Arun,

That's great.  We would love to see your mods in our source tree.
Contributing code to ORP is easy.  I described the process in an email
earlier this year (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/orp/message/169).

At the moment, we probably won't have resources to help you in porting ORP
to FreeBSD, but if you sent us your mods with the contributor's license and
if your mods don't break our Linux and Windows configurations, we would fold
them in.

Feel free to contact me if you have more questions.

Michal
