I've ported libesmtp-0.8.7 to FreeBSD and I have the tarball mirrored 
to my site.  Aside from the configure script crashing (I'm having to 
autoconf it to get a runner), there's a minor issue with POSIX Threads 
handing.

I'm now passing PTHREAD_LIBS and PTHREAD_CFLAGS through the environment 
during the configuration pass.  configure correctly detects that POSIX 
threads are supported.  The problem is that the contents of 
PTHREAD_LIBS are not getting appended to LIBS.  Consequently, I'm 
having to do this by passing it through the environment in LIBS.  The 
same goes for PTHREAD_CFLAGS.  Admittedly, both are quite minor.

My port of Balsa-1.2.3 for FreeBSD was committed today.  :)
