jhbuild on FreeBSD

This is being used as a scratch space for people working on getting jhbuild running on FreeBSD.

These instructions assume an install of FreeBSD 12.1.

Working so far

This is what currently works (± caveats below):

...almost everything now. 

jhbuild

Expect build problems with: gdm, accountsservice.

Jhbuild tinderbox

We have a couple of tinderboxes starting to get set up:

Packages to install
