DESCRIPTION
ifwatchd is used to monitor dynamic interfaces (for example PPP inter-
faces) for address changes. Sometimes these interfaces are accompanied
by a daemon program, which can take care of running any necessary
scripts
(like pppd(8) or isdnd(8)), but sometimes the interfaces run completely
autonomously (like pppoe(4)
taken from the manpage.
I we want it I need to port it, otherwise I need to remove the script from
/etc/rc.d
