Netvault on FreeBSD-7.2 AMD64

[Karsten Thygesen]

Hi Ronald

Oh, I guess I wrote it a bit confusing - the binaries could find the  
lib32 libraries just fine, but they also need some netvault specific  
libraries, which is stored in a vendor specific directory - I had to  
set LD_32_LIBRARY_PATH to point to that library - there was no  
problems with the compatibility libraries.
