it seems to be massive because I've moved the getopt loop from the
the main function to the parseopts one and also because I rewrote the
keyword table. appart than this, the rest of the patch isn't so big.

well, in one of the followed messages, you said the sysctl nodes where
missing, humm! I'm surprised, but you are right, sorry.
I'll submit an all in one patch set from scratch (cvs diff) instead of
incremental ones, so, I'm sure I'll not forget something for a reason
or another.
