>Description:
Allow ifconfig to display interfaces based on a partial match (like sysctl, etc).  For example:

# ifconfig lo
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
lo1: flags=8008<LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
