Don't sweat it about the ram disk. Just don't define the tmpdir()
function in freebsd.sh, and it will fall back to warning the user
about lack of /dev/shm. An init script is overkill for a simple
password manager, but as a separate thing, it could be nice to say
"hey FreeBSD users -- want /dev/shm like linux? check this out", and
then provide the script. Keeping it in /dev/shm is nice because then
there's compatibility.

Anyway, the things that freebsd.sh needs are:

- clip() You can probably copy the Linux one, changing usage of base64
to "openssl base64", or whatever else freebsd provides
- proper path to GNU getopt
- Anything else you think should be overridden

Hopefully this keeps the number of ports patches you have to ship.
