I missed your commit to the if_gif module.  I hope you'll forgive
me if I say it is a mere hack, but it will do for now :-)

Max Laier and I discussed this issue once, and Max had concern
over possible performance degradation that might result from
calling pflog functions through pointers to be set by a separate
pflog module.  We can skip touching the pf module in RELENG_6 for
now and leave the issue to after 6.1-RELEASE is out.
