Oh, coffee and git logs: Yeah I actually didn't import the whole thing 
originally, but the IGMPv3 ground-up rewrite in the 00s meant taking 
code from a number of places. E.g. IGMP itself was "rebased" (pre-Git) 
against NetBSD's state machine without fenner@'s shortcuts before the 
work took place (funded by Tom Pusateri, ex-Juniper), mtest(8) was 
mostly taken from things Wilbert de Graaf never upstreamed before he 
joined Microsoft, and ifmcstat(8) rewrite was mostly NetBSD and KAME 
*inspired* (the late great itojun, probably).
