You're welcome, Gary.

Me too, but Hellmuth's reply was: "Please go and merge it." :)

Now i finally got the time to do it over the holiday season.  Too bad,
it's already too late to merge it back into -stable before 4.5 ships.

It's also a bit sad that NetBSD's version now evolved a fair bit away
from our file (among other things, they have based their PPPoE
implementation on sppp), so we probably cannot convince them to merge
both files, and use a single unified version.  They have unifdefed
their version some time ago, and i think it makes sense for us to
untangle the file in our tree, too.  (We still have to maintain the
differences for the version in -stable anyway.)

Well, "somewhat".  Not in the sense that i'd claim a "pass all commits
to that file through me first" right, i'm certainly not responsive
enough for that (due to time constraints).  But since i wrote a large
part of the current implementation, i'm probably the FreeBSD committer
who knows the code best.  (About the same goes also for the floppy
driver.)

I know there are further changes on submission from the orignal author
Sergey Vakulenko and his folks, let's see how to integrate all this.
I think they also have a number of bugfixes pending.
