TODO

First:

1. interface dependencies, so that you can say

   iface adsl inet static
     pre-up ifup eth0
     post-down ifdown eth0
     ...
   

   and expect it to work correctly.
2. better support for "allow-foo" (see Debian BTS)
3. command line arguments and environment vars for mapping scripts

Second:

1. include interface options in ifstate

2. update options based on results of "up" commands (ppp -> $IF_ADDRESS)

3. allow mapping to go from logical -> physical as well as reverse

4. selection of dhcp client (or ip/ifconfig) from interfaces file

Misc:

1. hurd support
2. unwind on failure
3. hundreds of random features
