Scott,

Looks like I was finally able to get Shibboleth compiled. I posted a 
request for help over at www.daemonforums.org (a FreeBSD forum I 
frequent) and they recommended I add the following line to the 
TCPListener.cpp file:

#include <netinet/in.h>

This seemed to have solved the compile errors. I still got some 
warnings, but everything seems to have installed properly now.

Thanks again for all your help on this.

-Tristan
