I use FreeBSD on some machines.

	On FreeBSD 8.0 (a little old), MAXPATHLEN is defined in
<sys/param.h>.

	/usr/include/sys/param.h:
	#define        MAXPATHLEN      PATH_MAX

	And PATH_MAX is defined in <sys/syslimits.h> which is included
from <sys/param.h>.

	/usr/include/sys/syslimits.h:
	#define    PATH_MAX                 1024   /* max bytes in pathname */
