#1171 FreeBSD 6 should be configured like FreeSBD 5

Since FreeBSD has recently branched for 5-stable,
-current is called FreeBSD 6. So for net-snmp a new
file include/net-snmp/system/freebsd6.h needs to be
created that includes freebsd5.h, and the appropriate
change made to Makefile.in.

From what I can see so far, nothing additional needs to
be defined in freebsd6.h (the freebsd5.h defines are
sufficient for now).

    Have you tried the following commands
    producing a successful install on FreeBSD6 ? :

    cp ./include/net-snmp/system/freebsd5.h \ ./include/net-snmp/system/freebsd6.h

    ./configure ; make; make install

    Yes, I have (more or less), and it's running fine.

    By more or less, I mean that I am building the FreeBSD port.
    The port has been updated to build on a FreeBSD 6 host
    since the my initial bug report here. In addition to the
    change I mention the port applies quite a few other patches.

    freebsd6.h added to 5.1 and main branch.
    Will be available in the next release.
