Perhaps everybody but me knows the answer to this one:  Why not build off
of ipfilter?  I've chosen ipf over ipfw for the last couple of years
because ipf already had state, nat proxies, route intervention, etc.
Since 3.x freebsd has carried support for both.  Does ipf have
something really ugly under the hood that people don't want to work
with?
