Microsoft's CoreCLR Now Works On FreeBSD

Awesome! it's good to see the community bring up platform support so quickly, even if it's not ready just yet. It's things like this that should convince the remaining holdouts to go open source. The next year or so is going to be an interesting one.

Hi,

as the author of the last PR. What we archived yesterday is a complete build run. So we now have binaries, sadly they do not really work yet. But we continue working on it.

One thing to point out is the fact, that this port was entirely communicant driven. We got great support from Microsoft, but the planning and work was done by community members. I hope that we soon have a working build. OpenBSD and NetBSD is also being worked on.
