Summary: FreeBSD 5.x needs extra define to expose all library symbols

Initial Comment:
With FreeBSD 5.x, a number of library symbols, and
common typedefs, have been moved outside the scope of
the usual _XOPEN_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE defines.

This includes getloadavg(), and typedefs for u_int,
u_long etc.  These typedefs are common in standard
extension modules (but not in Python's core).

The define required to enable the missing bits is
__BSD_VISIBLE.

The attached patches for configure.in and pyconfig.in
add support for this define in similar fashion to
defines required for similar reasons on other platforms
(eg NetBSD).
