Add support OpenBSD platforms.

fnichol commented 9 years ago

This commit adds support for OpenBSD (tested with OpenBSD 5.6/amd64). There were 3 issues that needed to be addressed to make this possible:

The configure script uses a shell array which isn't supported in bourne shell or ksh (at least under OpenBSD), but is supported in bash. Invoking configure with bash on OpenBSD resolved this failure.
OpenBSD wasn't in the supported host_os detection logic, but falls under the FreeBSD case, which accomplished by adding --with-host-os=linux to the configure invocation. I know, totally makes sense to me too.
There appears to be GNUisms in the Makefile code, thus using gmake on OpenBSD helps the build complete.

Consequently for OpenBSD platforms, the following packages must be installed:

also need autoconf pkg installed. tested with autoconf-2.69p1 since there are several choices on openbsd 5.7.

it would be awesome to get this merged. it is necessary to do chef omnibus builds on openbsd.
