There is no point in having such void entries. They can all be
substituted by a kind of call for volunteers, "Contribution of
packages for BSD, CentOS, ... is sought and will be greatly
appreciated." - or something of the sort.
Chicken is also available on all those platforms through pkgsrc, the
cross-platform packaging system that's used as the native system by
NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD.
How should this be added to the list? It's not really correct to
put it under 'BSD', since pkgsrc also works on Solaris, Linux,
FreeBSD,
MacOS X and I think even under Windows with Cygwin or Interix (Windows
Services for Unix).
If pkgsrc is native to those two BSDs, I would suggest creating two
explicit entries for them. An additional section "Other platforms"
can be created where the possibility of using pkgsrc is mentioned.

Peter
