Here shar files for lightdm [1] and lightdm-gtk-greeter [2]. You need
also add lightdm user and group in UIDs [3] and GIDs [4] files.

In liblightdm-gobject/language.c I use iso-codes to search country
name, because LC_IDENTIFICATION doesn't exist in FreeBSD. I also make
ineffective check utf8 because, we support no utf8 system.

In liglightdm-gobject/x-server-local.c I removed -novtswitch option.
Jeremy Messenger, who was the first working on LightDM used this patch
(for Xorg server), not me
http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/patch/patch-hw__xfree86__os-support__bsd__bsd_init.c

Keep in mind, it's work in progress.
