[Box Backup] v0.07 and FreeBSD

I've had reports that the daemons in 0.07 may not start under FreeBSD. 
If you get this problem:

Start from a clean unpack of the boxbackup-0.07.tgz archive. Edit 
lib/common/BoxPlatform.h. Search for PLATFORM_FREEBSD, and then below 
it change the PLATFORM_RANDOM_DEVICE line so it looks like this:

	#define PLATFORM_RANDOM_DEVICE  "/dev/urandom"

(add a 'u'). Then recompile -- and everything should work.
