Thanks.  I have installed a FreeBSD VM and the diskspace checking is now 
working...  sort of (the calculation of blocks used has issues exposed 
due to types being used and using ceil() requires a -lm added).  But the 
basics are fine.

As an aside, it was quite annoying to find that even the current pacman 
does not compile on FreeBSD but no bug has ever been reported here.  So 
I had to hack around those issues before testing.  (for those that are 
interested, FreeBSD does its own thing with time_t definitions, so the 
formatting for printf is not quite right...).
