No, this is not about new _ipfw_ version. I=92m unsure if all these =
changes are large enough to name ipfw
as =93ipfw3=94. This is just an indication that all ipfw-related =
sockopts are available via single setsockopt called
IP_FW3. Maybe naming is not the best - I=92m open to any suggestion.=20

However, I=92m not sure why should I invent additional sysctls instead =
of using standard interface.
