I forget who, but someone talked about removing this if_var.h
necessity a while ago. I believe it was originally only intended as
a kernel-specific file.
It's *way* un-standard, and a real pain in the ass for ports. If you
don't build a new net/* port on both 2.2 & -current, you're almost
definitely gonna get hit by this.
Can't we just #include it at the end of net/if.h and be done with it ?
Please ? Or does anyone want to fix it properly ?
