Note that this is still a beta version, and that the sysctl
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed must be set to 1 for correct operation.
Port changes:
- add dependency on accessibility/speech-dispatcher for libspeechd
- use internal libvpx
- update disk space requirements
- add pkg-message for the above sysctl

FreeBSD-specific improvements:
- working WiFi geolocation [1] (can be turned off in preferences)
- fix build with clang (use external libvpx)
- use SysV SHM model and where possible OS_BSD, which saves some patches
- no need to use ZygoteProcess switch
HTML5 audio is currently broken.

There are still some problems with it on 8.X (and presumably 7.X), see
pkg-message for a possible workaround.
This would not have been possible without:
- portmgr@ for drawing me into this in October last year
- beat@ for providing a development repository
- dhw@ for creating the freebsd-chromium list
- all the patch contributors and testers on the freebsd-chromium list
