The non-backwards compatibility with svgalib-1.4.2 is killing it for me
right now.  On FreeBSD, there isn't a port for svgalib-1.4.3 at the
moment, and with all the other projects I've got going, I don't have
time to build svgalib-1.4.3 from scratch and troubleshoot it along the
way.

I'm hoping either the FreeBSD folks update that port, or I get some
spare time.  I am anxious to try out LinRad.
