[Gambas-user] BSD gambas compile

[Bruce Steers]

Do not fret Tobias.
I have a knack for looking at things alternatively.
The double $$ is not something I've used before so issued that line as I
would have done. I tried a number of other things too till I found the
issue.

Why? You ask. Lol, I'm sure we've both been at this long enough to know,
god knows why it works better that way, but it does 😉

And yes I've checked the output trunk_version.h file against original and
using changes on bsd and linux.
Tis all good 😇

The only "bad" change done is I removed a non empty flag from rmdir
commands in app/
All other changes I think are sound.
