Packing netgraph structs

I'm creating Netgraph bindings for OCaml in order to play around more 
easily with various Bluetooth and Ethernet things I'm working on.  It's 
all pretty straightforward except for the problem that the netgraph 
message structs aren't all packed (e.g. struct ng_mesg).  This means 
that it's very difficult to serialise them in a language other than C.

Is there any reason why these aren't packed?  If not, I can submit a 
diff to make them so.

thanks,
