:Well, some ports depend on autoconf.  The autoconf in the CVS tree of
:the autoconf project has my patch in there already, which should detect
:the DragonFly name.

    Hmm.  Maybe the solution is to modify 'uname' to report 'FreeBSD' if
    there is an environmental override.  Then the ports build could set
    the environment variable temporarily.  Maybe something like FAKE_OSNAME.
