Once again, thanks for your work, it'll be very useful!

Here are some modified version, just a couple of comments:

- I've just commented the aliases part: better do nothing that error out
  :)
- I have replaced --down with -A 0.0.0.0. Actually, --down was the
  equivalent of Linux' ifconfig down, which got replaced (on my request,
  actually) by ifconfig 0, to just disable ipv4 without shutting down
  the interface.
- route add can be implemented by using
  fsysopts /servers/socket/2 $(showtrans /servers/socket/2) -g $router
  as this simply appends the -g option to the existing ones. This
  however won't handle multiple interfaces well, but that should be
  enough for now.
- I've made a few changes to stick even more to the Linux version.
- About -a vs -A vs --address: don't mix pfinet/fsysopts options with
  inetutils-ifconfig options: although they happen to be very similar,
  they are not the same, that's why -A wasn't working for fsysopts.

Ok, that'll be fine enough for now.

Ah, ptom does that, ok, agreed indeed.

Yep, I'll do that once you post your patch against the .c code.

Please post on this list first, I'll upload a package on debian-ports so
people can test it easily before you file the patch to the bug tracker.
