Summary: DragonFly BSD support

Initial Comment:
I spent some time building a simple little patch that
gets Python up and running under DragonFly BSD.  At the
moment, DragonFly (as a platform) is nearly identical
to FreeBSD (from which is was forked), so the generated
the patch was largely mechanical.

I'll continue to make efforts to support Python on
DragonFly should things become more complicated.

The only known issue is a test case failure for
test_fcntl.  I don't know whether this failure is
unique to DragonFly at this time.  I'll investigate
that soon.

This patch is valid for DragonFly 1.0-CURRENT using
either GCC 2.95.4 or GCC 3.3.3 20040126.

Are you willing to act as a maintainer and contact point for
the Dragonfly port?
