Well I'm not sure if the last question is aimed at me or if it is a general
question.

All the diffs to the kernel is #ifdef IPX 'ed, so if you don't have
options IPX in your kernel config file, it won't be compiled in.

If we are going to import it, I will create diffs for the Makefiles and
the two functions and the man page (ipx_addr(), ipx_ntoa() and ipx.3) for them
in libc that should be added.
