Hi everyone,

After successfully compiling Netsurf with the framebuffer frontend on
NetBSD (it required a patch for the Makefile, attaching it, please
consider merging it), it doesn't start with either "The sdl surface is
not available from libnsfb" if run without arguments other than -v, and
"The x surface is not available..." if run with `-f x`.

Do I need to install some additional software, or link it with
something else (I built it with pkgsrc; if you miss an
`.include <...buildlink3.mk>`, you can run into a problem; currently
there are gperf, librsvg, lcms, openssl, curl, libxml2, and mng
included).

The version is 3.8.

Thanks!
