Add a May 02, 2006 snapshot of the FreeBSD HAL port for those interested
in helping with testing. While an init script is provided, it is recommended to run hald with: /usr/local/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes The underlying work on the HAL port was done by jylefort and myself. git-svn-id: svn://creme-brulee.marcuscom.com/ports/trunk@6193 df743ca5-7f9a-e211-a948-0013205c9059

+devices. The point is that the exact set of information to merge varies by
+device and bus type.
