having sent out the patch to the only person who requested it
privately, I thought for later reference I should post it here as
well:

! Allow the latest Capi4BSD from http://www.nord-com.net/thomas.wintergerst/
! to compile on amd64 as well as modern FreeBSD versions without suser()
! or I4B support.

I have done some late changed to get the __FreeBSD_version checks as
correct as possible and it compiles on my FreeBSD HEAD/amd64 but I
haven't tested it more.  I used to use it for a simple call log in the
past but not more either.  If you give it a try, send me feedback!
