Yes, I'll submit this link in the FreeBSD port. Thanks.

Does p9p rc need p9p labrairies to run or just to build ?

I think that I'm interested to get a patch/copy of your p9p rc with 
history, but I don't know what do you mean when you say (my directory). 
Sorry for this very basic question.

If you maintain byron's rc, there's no reason to do a fork of p9p rc, but 
it could be interresting to have the patch in the FreeBSD port that could 
be enable via a knob like WITH_RC-HISTORY. Just an idea... Oh and another 
patch that make p9p read $home/.rcrc if using as login shell. I'm not 
asking you to do it, I'm just thinking about that.
