Hi,

FYI:

  Modified files:
    sbin                 Makefile
    sys/conf             files options
    sys/modules          Makefile
    sys/net              net_osdep.h
    sys/netinet          ip_fw2.c
    sys/netinet6         ip6_forward.c ip6_input.c ip6_output.c
  Removed files:
    sbin/ip6fw           Makefile ip6fw.8 ip6fw.c sample.sh
    sys/modules/ip6fw    Makefile
    sys/netinet6         ip6_fw.c ip6_fw.h
  Log:
  Remove ip6fw.  Since ipfw has full functional IPv6 support now and - in
  contrast to ip6fw - is properly locked, it is time to retire ip6fw.

Known issues:
 - ipfw2 is *not* a perfect in-place replacement for ip6fw.  Rules might
need slight rewriting to work.  You can use the changes in rc.firewall6
as a reference.  Now that IPv4 and v6 are integrated one should be able
to write much more elegant rulesets to manage both IPv4 and v6.
 - rc.firewall6 will flush rules from rc.firewall.  I am still looking for
a clever way how to integrate rc.firewall and rc.firewall6 - patches
welcome!

If there are still missing/broken things in ipfw2's IPv6 support, please
let me know.
