well.. I was about to fix a problem with contrib/ipfilter/man/Makefile,
but I read the copyright message at the top:
# (C)opyright 1993, 1994, 1995 by Darren Reed.
#
# This code may be freely distributed as long as it retains this notice
# and is not changed in any way.  The author accepts no responsibility
# for the use of this software.  I hate legaleese, don't you ?

I'm sorry, but anything that we can't fix SHOULD NEVER be imported into
the tree...  I'm going to rewrite the makefile for now...  but can we
get all the copyright messages changed to the BSD copyright?? or at
least allow us to make modifications??

heck, all I was about to do was to replace root and wheel with MANOWN
and MANGRP, but this copyright doesn't allow it...

ttyl..
