Yeah, that's one thing about doing everything in shell.  Very few of the
advanced hacker tools will work with just a shell, but that means we get to
roll more of our own functionality...

I'm thinking whatever the firewall config language looks like, the parser
(at least for LRP/leaf) will be primarily shell, with perhaps a few special
commands (compiled...maybe added to busybox) to help with the parsing.
