There is some slightly outdated info in the "tools" section of the developers' handbook, which says there are no Pascal compilers and no IDE's on FreeBSD. Fix: Patch for developers-handbook/tools/chapter.sgml

That's because the document uses tabs to indent, and you used spaces. Please don't do that. It looks like there are some other parts in this document that do that, but that doesn't make it right. There are similar problems below. Other than that, this looks pretty good. Thanks.
