I'm not certain, but I have been using it with a 4.0-R plus cvsup
machine here for quite a while.  My rule of thumb would be:  if
it's in the examples, the code should handle it.  I feel this be
have been there for a while.  But I didn't bother to consult the
CVS log.

Well, upgrading ipf won't help in this respect.  It's a
completely independent patch and probably won't make it into
stock ipf, Darren is reluctant to accept it since - as you state
yourself, too - it can as well be done outside of the program.
