Notable changes:
- Forwarding code for OpenBSD now fixed in the main distribution
- Minor fixes for pf-based NAT.
From maintainer, Jolan Luff <jolan@cryptonomicon.org>.
- get rid of X11/Xpm dependencies (not needed with -current gd)
- add graph generation example to man page (-c -d at the same time)
- open /dev/pf read-write, which is neccessary in 3.0
- change a counter to u_int64_t so it doesn't overflow

for feedback.
+ Fixed warning in Net::DNS::RR::AUTOLOAD with perl 5.005.
+ Implemented autoloading of the RR subclasses. This provides a
good sized speed bump, particually for applications that are not
persisant.
+ Cleaned up a few things with CERT RRs.
+ Removed use of $' from RR.pm for effciency reasons. As a result,
for all RRs text following a ';' is considered a comment. This
was originally only done in RR/SOA.pm.
+ Added method caching to AUTOLOAD subroutines. This should provide
a modest speed bump.
+ The test suite has been greatly improved, though there is still
more to be done in this regard.
+ Added support for DNAME resource records.
+ Fixed edge case for queries that have no name.
+ Tighted up the regular expression used in Net::DNS::Resolver::cname_addr()
- When old Perl was used, the problem which cannot encode a password
correctly was corrected.
- UNIX Socket connection support.
- The version of Perl to demand was lowered to 5.004.
- Fixed the problem which cannot acquire the field with a length
of 16 bits or more.
- Fixed some uncanny typoes.
- Clean up patch logic.
- Mark as BROKEN for obvious incompleteness: Blindly builds as 32-bit/
little endian on all archs, doesn't honor CC/CXX/C(XX)FLAGS.
Tcpcat is a simple program that is like `cat' but it works over tcp
streams to allow you to cat from one host to another.

The IO::Socket::Multicast module subclasses IO::Socket::INET to enable
you to manipulate multicast groups. With this module (and an operating
system that supports multicasting), you will be able to receive incoming
multicast transmissions and generate your own outgoing multicast
packets.
IO::Interface adds object-methods to IO::Socket objects to allow
them to get and set operational characteristics of network interface
cards, such as IP addresses, net masks, and so forth. It is useful
for identifying runtime characteristics of cards, such as broadcast
addresses, and finding interfaces that satisfy certain criteria,
such as the ability to multicast.
I cannot test atm.
The label part of this patch is needed until I can figure completely what's
needed to support local labels longer than one digit on a.out arch's.
