16		[itojun 20020526]
17	pppd(8): import 2.4.1 [christos 20020529]

24		an interface to rnd(4) only.)  [enami 20020602]
25	gspahextoc: was obsoleted by the -c option to gspa(1) a long
26		time ago, and has thus been removed [is 20020607]
27	netinet6: synchronize with recent interface/router/prefix management
28		logic from KAME.  [itojun 20020608]
