Ahh, now I see where this is going... you plan on collecting even more
parameters to support statements like this:

  inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00 inet6 ::4 prefixlen 64

while I had constructs in mind that speak for themselves:

  192.168.2.1/24 ::4/64

or maybe more verbose

  192.168.2.1/24 inet6 ::4/64

... So: is there anything besides the netmask you expect to appear in
the ipv4_addrs_IF and ifconfig_IF_alias* variables? If not, we should
just parse them appropriately.
