Comment on attachment 132482 [details] Patch Before we start landing patches like this, we should have a more general discussion on webkit-dev about whether we're going to support FreeBSD and which ports want this support.

I think it makes sense to close this. There is no standardization around "alternative names" for the patch binary, so "gpatch" can be considered an arbitrary name which works on a certain OS. Symlinking gpatch to patch in a directory and prepending it to $PATH has the same effect.
