I am aware of this since I did some *BSD alpha testing for teTeX-0.4 and compiled the binary packages for *BSD distributed with teTeX-0.4. We use FreeBSD's dialog as we did in previous releases. This has become an autodetect feature of teTeX's texconfig now. Thus, like before, there is no need to compile dialog and ncurses shipped with teTeX's sources. We also found an easy workaround for configure's failure to detect the external sys_errlist definition without touching the sources. I am grateful for Thomas Esser's support of *BSD peculiarities. -Bernd
