>Description:
	ipfw.8 does not make clear which requirements IPFW2=TRUE in /etc/make.co
nf satisfies for getting IPFW2.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	man ipfw
	/STABLE (3x)
	
>Fix:
	This patch makes it clear that IPFW2=TRUE is equivalent to -DIPFW2, but could be further clarified to make it clear that both are effective at buildworld time. Still clearer than the current wording, if perhaps not as good as a previously submitted patch.
