This would certainly fix it.  I'd feel better having a FreeBSD
prep-kernel-headers target we'd run at this point instead of 
just making the symlink though.  In general, it seems like it's
better to do this sort of thing down in the cf macros rather than
the configure.in, I guess just because doing it in configure.in
makes it very FreeBSD specific, where a cf/ file has some chance of
running correctly elsewhere.  Tomas, you've got the commit bit, and
I doubt a prep-kernel-headers target is likely to come out of
FreeBSD in the next week (and it won't be there for 6.x even if it
did), so I guess I'll find you what you did the next time I cvs up
the arla sources.
