Patch to add Q_OS_FREEBSD to bypass bad argument passed to vlc

A message appears when multimedia/minitube starts: 

"Phonon's VLC backend failed to start. This usually means a problem with your
VLC installation, please report a bug with your distribution."


When starting minitube from the terminal the following messages appear in the
terminal:

"vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--no-one-instance'
Try `vlc --help' for more information.
PHONON-VLC [FATAL__] libVLC: could not initialize
PHONON-VLC [FATAL__] Phonon::VLC::vlcInit: Failed to initialize VLC"

It seems that VLC does not accept the argument '--no-one-instance' in FreeBSD.

I patched libvlc.cpp (attached) to add Q_OS_FREEBSD alongside Q_OS_MAC in order
to not try to pass the above mentioned argument to VLC.

I rebuilt with the patch in "files" and it works well now.
