No, this means that ifconfig's destory argument doesn't work with tun
interfaces.  The tun interface needs to be convered to use the
pseudo-interface cloning infrastructure, but so far, it hasn't happened.
I've taken a look at it a a few times, but the current auto creation
code is really incompatable with the way cloning works which makes it
problematic.
