[theora-dev] building under NetBSD

I am successfully able to build today's theora_cvs_snapshot under
NetBSD/i386 1.6 with SDL disabled. (I haven't tested yet.)

I was unable to build with SDL:

 player_example.c:52: sys/soundcard.h: No such file or directory

I see the source says it is OSS-specific for now.

This is what I did to make it build:

<p>This built, but this is not tested yet. I need to make some data to test.
I found a Micro-HOWTO at
http://www.dogphilosophy.net/SECTION-Technical_Stuff/ogg-theora-microhowto.html
which I will follow. Unless is there is easier ways or a download site to
fetch Ogg Theora files.

By the way, I created a package of "theora-nightly" for NetBSD (and also
created new packages for CVS snapshots of libogg and libvorbis because
theora README said newer versions of these were needed).
