//This could avoid creating conflicts between the arguments
//give ipconfig and what is in the network database.

but if the arguements to ipconfig come from from cs (which,
in turn, gets them from the ndb files), where's the risk of
conflict? you pretty much need cs anyway, and in the scheme
proposed, ipconfig now has to know how to parse the ndb
files, complete with imposed ipnet heirarchy. i'm in favor
of limiting how many places that magic gets included in.
especially since the big win seems to be saving a few lines
in /rc/bin/[term,cpu]rc.
