Modified Files:
	src/usr.sbin/ifwatchd: ifwatchd.c

Log Message:
Now that sppp announces address additions and removals with state
flags, we no longer need the custom sppp code to detect if we are
connected or not.

Add commentary on if we really need to handle RTM_DELADDR only when
detached.

does this mean that ifwatchd now must be updated along with the kernel?

No.

If you have COMPAT_70, new kernels work as they used to with old libc/ifwatchd.
However, new ifwatchd does require a new kernel/libc.
