I'm not an src-committer, so we have to get an approval from Bruce
first, but the patch is saved in my online patch queue:

The patch is the file called 'route'.

route/netstat.  I just came back from a trip and I will have some
time to see how much of it applies to FreeBSD's netstat too.

Thanks once more :)
