The functionality of IPFIREWALL_FORWARD is always "just there."

IPFIREWALL_FORWARD has been a null option for about two and a half
years. It was removed from the ipfw(8) documentation in 1.105,
2002/08/10. However, killing it from the kernel configuration files
only happened this month. Since it's been gone from the documentation
for so long, whether it needs an entry in UPDATING is debatable.
