Appologies for the cross-post (again ...)

If I wasn't such a lazy anthrax-carrier, I'd have checked 
properly, and seen that NetBSD-current's version of that file is 
full of hooks for IPF.  So, NetBSD -current should work
just fine.  But, the 1.5 branch does not.  Apologies to freebsd-stable
people for the cross-post.
