Hi Robert,

thanks for your effort of porting compiz-fusion. I just tried the
recent updates of emerald 0.5.2 (that are still pending it their PRs)
and all works fine, except emerald dumping core on a 5min basis on
CURRENT.

But to ease your porting effort a bit I did a very quick shot on the
compizconfig part. I attached 4 skeleton ports for compizconfig/ccsm.
Maybe they are helpful and can speedup your your valuable work a bit ;)

I also made the ports available online. The shars can be found here:

http://www.bytephobia.de/freebsd/ports/
 - ccsm_0.5.2.shar
 - compizconfig-backend-gconf_0.5.2.shar
 - compizconfig-python_0.5.2.shar
 - libcompizconfig_0.5.2.shar

Please note that these ports are not complete and may harm your system.
At least it made ccsm run on my system and I was able to configure the
compiz-fusion plugins.

Regards,

Patrick
