[Sshguard-users] New ipfw backend

Hi there,

In light of the recent `ipfw` issues I've decided to re-implement the
`ipfw` backend using the command framework that is used for nearly all
of the other backends. Since I don't run `ipfw` on my machine, I'm
unable to test this patch.

If you are running `ipfw` and are willing to test-drive this new and
more than likely broken backend, apply the attached patch, compile,
and take it for a whirl. In particular, I'm not sure if the "add
multiple addresses" part works, so if you have a large blacklist that
crashed the original ipfw backend try it on the new one.

The new backend operates on ipfw tables. You'll need to set up your
firewall with a tabled named 'sshguard'. SSHGuard (should) add
attackers to this table; you'll need to set up the rules yourself.

Please don't test this in a production environment, and if you test it
at all, be aware that bad things can happen. Please take a look at the
patch before you try to run this code.

Best,
Kevin Zheng
