   IPfilter compiles under FreeBSD 2.1.6 and lower without so much as
a blink, but it runs in to some (big) problems under -2.2 that I didn't
really feel like spending enough time on to come up with a patch.

   (Has anyone done any work on porting it to -2.2 or -current so I don't
start reinventing the wheel?).
