no it's not out yet.. and it doesn't look like it will be for a
while, it's painfully slow. also, the netlink filter stuff isn't
stable - at least every new 2.4.0-test patch seems to touch most of
the files in that dir. so it's most probably not reliable yet. :)

as for BSD.. cool, the more Unix the better.
