I was talking with Robert Watson about this the other day. The codebase
of compiler-rt also contains the libBlocksRuntime.so library, which
is fundamental in making Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) work. Because of
its small size (12 KB), I think I'll also include it in the import.

This means that after the import, libdispatch is the only port needed to
make Grand Central Dispatch work on FreeBSD HEAD.
