Rock star.  This is terrific.  Thank you very much for doing this.

I do have a couple of minor nits about the actual patch:

	- Since there is a 32-bit assumption in the code, use
	  uint32_t instead of u_int.

	- There is some inconsistent whitespace in the diff; please
	  fix that, along with some other whitespace nits (like
	  blank lines at the end of functions, etc.)

Thanks again!
