A patch to add FreeBSD compatibility

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ypsilon is fully workable under FreeBSD, but you'll have to use GNU gmake
instead of BSD make, and do a few minor changes to get it going.

In short, the attached patch contains changes to Makefile to detect
FreeBSD, and changes to sitelib/{ffi.scm,gl.scm,glut.scm} to recognize and
load libraries properly.

The patch is against ypsilon-0.9.6 sources, not the trunk.
Hope it's useful.

I've also submitted a FreeBSD port for ypsilon, and it should be in the
ports tree soon enough. Unfortunately I'm unable to test it on any platform
except for x86, so I'm wondering: is ypsilon designed to cope with anything
except fro x86?

Thank you for your message.

I have modified files to support FreeBSD and trunk directory is updated.
Unfortunately I have no machine which running FreeBSD at this moment, so I can 
not
test it. Please try and let me know if you have any problems. Thank you in 
advance!

Because of Ypsilon's FFI depend on x86(32bit) assembly, current version run 
only on
x86(32bit) platform.
I am planning to support other CPU after I fix all bugs relate to R6RS 
conformance.

Yes, the trunk version is good.
You can build, install, and run GL examples -- everything works.

There is still however a minor problem with `install` make target.
I don't know if it's FreeBSD-specific, but `install` creates 
$(PREFIX)/share/$(PROG)
with permissions set to 0700, so other users are unable to use libraries. It's 
easy
to fix this though (and I've attached a patch).

Anyway, ypsilon 0.9.6 (with all the needed patches) is already in FreeBSD ports 
tree,
so that would be the preferred way to install it there.

Thank you for your report and patch! I have updated Makefile.
