You really should've made a port several years ago :-/ It would've been easier 
for your organization to maintain the software as you updated your FreeBSD 
systems, and it would've allowed the rest of us to begin using the fruits of 
your work that much earlier...

Yeah, I expected so much -- I just want the API expected from libraw1394 by 
Linux-written applications to be available. No doubt, the internals will be 
different.

Thank you very much! I'll try to finish up the port with this... Can you 
provide your versions of main.c and readwrite.c as well? Thanks!
