[Qgis-developer] Re: qgis support for NetBSD

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Brook

Thanks for the patches - I will review them over the weekend and  
commit them assuming they are all good to go. With regards to your  
configuration questions, Ill defer them to the dev list in general  
for now since I am not much good with auto*



Regards

Tim
