Argh.  I already did all this. ;-(

I just have a command-line switch called '-alias' for enabling
it in the variant I did.  One man's NAT is another man's IP aliasing. ;-)

The only reason I haven't committed it yet is that I'm trying to
improve ppp.8 to the point where it actually *describes* the feature
to someone who doesn't necessarily understand what NAT is all about.

You, erm, wouldn't have already attacked the documentation in your
version, would you? ;-)  Perhaps we can/should compare notes.
