Hi Jeffrey,

I didn't know about the existence of this engine. Should be a separate 
port that just adds the engine shlib. Not necessarily by myself. You can 
always submit a port via bugzilla, notify freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.org for 
reviewers.

I have no hardware around that I know of where I can test this proper.

Cheers, Bernard.
