They're called 'msg_control' and 'msg_controllen', see recv(2).  I
don't know why they have different names to the SunOS versions; I suspect
it has a lot to do with SunOS being based on 4.2/4.3BSD, wheras
the version in FreeBSD is from 4.4.

I don't have a copy of 4.4lite to check with though.  Anyone care to
comment on the renaming?  Could we perhaps have some compatability
macros for cases like this?
