The Keyboard.prefs bundle doesn’t appear anywhere after ‘gmake install'

It’s already packaged for FreeBSD, but the update to GNUstep make breaks 
building the package.  I’d be happy to mark it as deprecated and go through the 
normal process for removing it, but I don’t really want to just summarily 
remove it as part of an update.  SystemPreferences is already packaged (I 
haven’t updated the package to use GitHub as the source, but there don’t seem 
to be any changes since the last packaged version).

I would also be happy with a mechanism for telling -make not to run in strict 
mode for this package.
