ipfilter is really selfcontained and is a contrib code.
Though it can't decide whether to really live in contrib or
as part of FreeBSD. Also it hasn't been updated in a long
time and the official version has progressed quite a bit.
IMHO the version we have should either go away and be replaced
with a fresh up to date import through the vendor channel, or
move to netpfil.
Would be a great task for a junior kernel hacker.
