    Looks like this upgrade will be a bit hairy if you want to do it
    "properly" (preferring patches that the authors of gri would be
    able to incorporate into their sources instead of just hacking it.

    I took a look and have a slight problem with automake. (I patched
    configure.ac to add a FreeBSD detection macro that should produce
    OS_IS_FREEBSD, which should make way for a clean patch to
    doc/Makefile.am to set correct paths.)

    Drop me a note if you're interested.
