The original purpose of "symlinks" was to provide symlinks
to /sys sources, it's the so-called "developer's mode", so
one doesn't need to worry about if he changes/adds/deletes
a header.

We could create /usr/include/contrib/ipfilter/netinet, and
that will be consistent with kern.pre.mk.  Those that need
it would just add -I/usr/include/contrib/ipfilter.  How is
this?
