Yes. Apparently, the appropriate libraries will be added to compat3x at
the last moment. :-)

Don't you have a trusted 3.3-STABLE/3.3-RELEASE machine you can grab
them from? I ask because I don't think there's an easy way to avoid
sucking down the whole of bin. :-(

Ah, then that's where you've gone wrong. For your first try at FreeBSD,
you should probably be trying 3.3-RELEASe or a 3.3 snapshot. The 4.0
branch is still considered the bleeding edge. And as you've discovered,
it tends to make you bleed. :-)
