   The only comment I have at the moment is that the patches need a little
KNF work. The mixing of indentation amounts within a function is particularly
annoying and makes the code difficult to read. Indents should be tabs, with
half tabs (4 spaces) used on continued lines (such as if () conditionals).
The patches have other KNF problems as well...see 'man 9 style'. In principle,
I'm not against these sorts of changes, but I tend to think that a more
general scheme implemented perhaps inside the ipfw framework would be more
appropriate. I also generally like to avoid compile time options for things
like this, but I"m sympathetic for performance reducing enhancements.
