I have been working on getting Handbrake 0.9.5 to build on FreeBSD for
some time. I had resolved a number of issues, but had no luck with
some assembler issues in the ffmpeg portion.

I am working on converting this work to a FreeBSD port Looks
straight-forward, but no promises. I'll report on success (or failure)
and submit a PR to get the port updated it that appears to be
appropriate. I have maintained several ports over the years and still
maintain one, so I have some experience with porting, but will hardly
claim to be an expert. I suspect you have more expertise than I do,
Chris, so feel free to take it over.

Thanks for getting this out so others can use it!
