[Openais] 255.255.255.255 != broadcast for interface on all platforms....

Resolving the broadcast address for FreeBSD.  Two possible solutions:

1) 255.255.255.255 doesn't receive any special handling by FreeBSD  
(and a handful of other OS'es, iirc) in terms of binding an  
interface's broadcast address.  Any thoughts on adding a broadcast  
config directive?

2) Other option is to resolve the correct broadcast in user space.

Are there any patches kicking around that do either of these  
remedies?  -sc
