Couple comments.

* You interchangeably use strlcpy and snprintf(... "%s", ...) and even
strncpy/strcpy(!).  You probably want to go with just strlcpy.
* There may be some cases where a string compare is too slow and it needs
a unit compare.  I'm not familiar with the code that does this but please
comment.
* Some places seem to still be using a unit number as a local loop
counter.  Just curious if this has any side effects.
* Do the ipfw glob changes break ABI?

Overall, I like it.
