Kern/73129 and 5.3-STABLE

The last messages I saw in the archives about kern/73129 indicated
that it was going to be fixed "shortly"

(73129 is the "IPFW misbehavior in RELENG_5 thread" -- it's no longer
possible to use ipfw fwd to perform policy routing).

This bug is on my critical path for getting my network entirely swapped
over to 5.3 (b/c it breaks transparent proxying and other nifty games).
Could I beg Andre or someone to commit a fix that restores the old
behavior?

(Barring that, has anyone patched it in their own system, and if so,
would you mind sending me the patch?  I dislike running custom kernel
code on these machines, but I'm happy to do so to get things working. :)

Many thanks,

  -Dave
