Thanks for the offer, Joe, and I think it's generally a good thing,
but the xanim author won't go that route.  See
http://xanim.va.pubnix.com/xa_dlls.html .  The short form is that the
NDA he's under (or at least his interpretation thereof) won't let him
upload to an account and compile there.

I think that's a good idea.  Is there some human at FreeBSD who would
be willing to keep track of such a list and put it on a web page?  Or
is there too little cost/benefit?
