consistently throughout libalias to a) reduce code duplication, b) improve
code legibility, c) get rid of a bunch of alignment warnings.

higher on some platforms.

I was hoping WARNS?=6 might reveal more serious problems, and perhaps
the source of the -O2 breakage, but found no smoking gun.
Makes it possible to have multiple packet aliasing instances in a
single process by moving all static and global variables into an
instance structure called "struct libalias".
Redefine a new API based on s/PacketAlias/LibAlias/g
Add new "instance" argument to all functions in the new API.
Implement old API in terms of the new API.
Skinny is the protocol used by Cisco IP phones to talk to Cisco Call
Managers. With this code, one can use a Cisco IP phone behind a FreeBSD
NAT gateway.
Currently, having the Call Manager behind the NAT gateway is not supported.
More information on enabling Skinny support in libalias, natd, and ppp
can be found in those applications' manpages.

PPTP links are no longer dropped by simple (and inappropriate in this
case) "inactivity timeout" procedure, only when requested through the
control connection.
It is now possible to have multiple PPTP servers running behind NAT.
Just redirect the incoming TCP traffic to port 1723, everything else
is done transparently.

- Multiple PPTP clients behind NAT to the same or different servers.
- Single PPTP server behind NAT -- you just need to redirect TCP
port 1723 to a local machine. Multiple servers behind NAT is
possible but would require a simple API change.
- No API changes!

the alias_pptp.c.
PacketAliasPptp() is no longer necessary and will be removed soon.

Add bounds checking to netbios NS packet resolving code. This should
prevent natd from crashing on badly formed netbios packets (as might be
heard when the machine is sitting on a cable modem or certain DSL
networks), and also closes potential security holes that might have
exploited the lack of bounds checking in the previous version of the
