Well f***ing done. Thanks to all involved.

Side thought - will this imply other parts of the project working towards
doing things that add similar multihoming but at the protocol level; I am
thinking pfsync + support for faked (master) endpoints, isakmpd with
multiple phase-1 support for meshing etc.

At this stage I am just spitting into the wind, but I would love to look at
ome of this stuff myself, especially now I am leaving the day job for
something that may let me play more on the development side.
