    Patched wetty for FreeBSD

    wetty is a nice node.js application that lets you run a terminal over HTTP. I run it because I work in an environment that filters the ssh protocol (not just 22). I just ported it over to FreeBSD (though it hasn't been pulled in yet). In short, there were some Linux-specific variables and...
