Command: ./bootstrap
Errors:
These appear at the very beginning when running ./bootstrap:
./bootstrap: parse error near `\n' [13]
./bootstrap: parse error near `done' [13]
These appear at the very end:
./bootstrap: command not found: bmake [34]
./bootstrap: command not found: bmake [38]
This is how I'm coming to the conclusion that bmake is not being
made. I don't understand the parse errors though. I figure once I
have bmake made I should be ok right?

I could submit packages once I get the bootstrap package made. Until
then, I'm just spinning my wheels to support this effort.
