Port to NetBSD

As NetBSD 2.0 release is just around the bend, research is being done to port FreeIPS to NetBSD. Included in the project will not only be the FreeIPS userland app, but also a kernel module for an ipdivert-like system.

In the first stage of design, we are looking at two seperate parts of FreeIPS for NetBSD. One being a kernel module, and the other would be the userland app. The only other way to do it would be to put the whole project in kernel-land. That would be insecure. This way allows for tighter security kernel-level. All code that goes into the kernel module will be looked over with utmost care.
