I thought I would drop a note since this is the _second_ time in the
last year that I've had to change my code becuase new defines were
added to freebsd's header files unprotected.

This time its in if_var.h:

	/* for compatibility with other BSDs */
	#define if_addrlist     if_addrhead
	#define if_list         if_link

Are people failing to realize that this now prohibits use of
`if_list' and `if_addrlist' in user programs??

Thanks,
Chris.
