FreeBSD compat work on AWS/Xen

I did no such thing. My work was all to add AWS/Xen compatibility to FreeBSD. :-)

In all serious though, while wanting to host Tarsnap on an OS I knew and trusted was my justification for spending so much time on FreeBSD/EC2, my actual reason had more to do with wanting to make sure that FreeBSD didn't fall behind.

Ah cool. Adoption is like a stochastic transfer function with a dependent variable "modern usability."

Speaking of usability, here's a patch to libfetch to ignore crusty ftp server non-RFC spurious responses https://gist.github.com/steakknife/b4772a5deb6afc8851e0 (I have absolute zero idea how to contribute code/patches to FreeBSD or it's not obvious/easy from docs.)

s/on/for/ That's what I meant. ;)
