  Modified files:
    sys/netinet          in.h in_pcb.c 
  Log:
  Change the default port range for outgoing connections by introducing
  IPPORT_EPHEMERALFIRST and IPPORT_EPHEMERALLAST with values
  10000 and 65535 respectively.
  The rationale behind is that it makes the attacker's life more
  difficult if he/she wants to guess the ephemeral port range and
  also lowers the probability of a port colision (described in
  draft-ietf-tsvwg-port-randomization-01.txt).
  
  While there, remove code duplication in in_pcbbind_setup().
