Description:
On FreeBSD 10.1 there is a dependency on libz.so.5 which is not in the installation instructions.

How to repeat:
dveeden@:~/meb-3.11.1-freebsd8-x86-64bit/bin % ./mysqlbackup 
Shared object "libz.so.5" not found, required by "mysqlbackup"

Suggested fix:
Add something like: pkg install compat8x-amd64

Added to the Installing MySQL Enterprise Backup section of the manual a new note on the dependency:

"Note; On FreeBSD 10.1, there is a dependency for mysqlbackup on the shared library libz.so.5, which can be installed by installing, for example, the compat8x libraries. "
