Thanks, Joe. 

I was planning on sending Roger a patch to do this that he could
commit, but I've been up to my neck for a couple of weeks building a
rather large (lots of 10 Gig connections) show network for SC2003 in
Phoenix and had not gotten time to do test builds on it. (Besides, you
did it right and I probably got lost in the .mk files.)

Damien has stated that GnomeMeeting will move away from OpenH323 in
the near future. (And this could REALLY break things down the road
unless we can get a viable video framework in place for FreeBSD as I
am sure it will be closely tied to the Linux video stuff which I don't
believe FreeBSD will use. Guess I need to check in on the work in this
area.)

I do have quicky hack for pwlib (video4bsd) to fix the problem of it
eating all CPU time in a tight loop when GnomeMeeting is sending
unchanging video from a camera, but I really need to clean it up
before submitting it. It does not work nearly as well as it should,
but it makes things bearable.

GnomeMeeting is a very nice tool, but the port to BSD (Free or
otherwise) is a bit messy and keeping it in a functional state in
FreeBSD concerns me a bit. Wish I had a bit more time to spend on it.
