Thanks for your contribution ! Are you interested for making other contribution to POK ? If yes, I can give you write access to the repository !

Thanks again !

Hello!

For some weird reason I tried to run POK on FreeBSD. Although I ultimately succeeded, I had to modify some files to make it work.

The first file's modifications are totally safe, the second one should be safe, and I'm not sure about the third. On all my machines (running FreeBSD and Gentoo Linux) ar is found under /usr/bin, not /bin. Why did you specify /bin anyway?
