Not exactly the same, no. e.g. jacana is similar but it doesn't build
with python, tcl or openssl, and does build with nls, it's 64bit vs
32bit, and it runs a more modern compiler on a more modern OS.
If you think it's worth it I will put some effort into fixing frogmouth.
I can certainly keep the others running for a while with little
difficulty. I will disable frogmouth until I get a chance to look for a
fix - next week at the earliest.
