I had to make three changes to the build system to get it to build on 
FreeBSD with no errors or warnings:

1. Rename make to gmake.
2. Rename tar to gtar
3. Change how the Crypt::SSLeay is looked for.  (This bug should affect 
all systems.)

Please decide on some way for a user to use gmake and gtar in these scripts.

Here is the snv patch.
