I have NetBSD 2.0 and pkgsrc from the same release, I tried to update
pkgsrc, but it cannot be used on NetBSD 2.0.  I will try to rewrite
everything with options framework and will add some additions for
the current pkgsrc, but I will not be able to test them.

ipa-2.x is a completely rewritten program.  It got some ideas from
the previous 1.x version.

In ipa-1.x support for firewalls and database was implemented directly
in source files.  ipa-2.x uses modules (accounting, database and
statistic modules, like plugins) and inside its source files there
is not any support for firewalls and databases, it simply work with
statistics (it can be anything) and solve some of accounting related
tasks.

Right now there is not any accounting module, which can be used on
NetBSD.  Nevertheless, there is database module ipa_sdb, which can be
used on any Unix-like system and there is ipactl utility, which can
provide statistics.

Since ipa-2.x is a system independent program it can be used on any
Unix-like system.

Right now I cannot upgrade my system, so I use old pkgsrc, but
the first problem looks strange, because "make install" recompiles
some of source files (not all of them).
