The differences are comparatively minor, so having two scripts would 
probably just add unnecessary maintenance overhead for the future. If 
the fix we've come up doesn't work, the next best thing would probably 
be a small conditional block in the prebuild.sh script, governed either 
by some smart BSD-detection code or a simple script parameter.
