BMS> Synopsis: Won't let me use ifconfig on the interfaces after upgrade to latest OS

BMS> Air this out on -net for discussion/bikeshedding.

The EEXISTS above comes from in.c (rtinit) when one tries to add an
address in an already existing prefix:
http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/in.c.diff originally done for my CARP
port should fix/work around it. Can somebody, please give it a try?

The code was obtained from WIDE via OpenBSD.
