My new setup (which is still not on the Internet just yet, and probably
won't be for a few weeks at this point) is a little...weird.  I have
two interfaces bound to a single IP stack, one exposed to the net, one
not.  For a variety of reasons, this is more convenient than using
multiple stacks (in particular, I want to run services on both
interfaces, and listen doesn't seem to have a ``-x'' option, I don't
want to start everything twice, and I want to try and play some routing
tricks later where the internal interface will also answer requests
[from internal clients] for the external interface).  I'm running a
DHCP and tftpd server for internal clients, but I don't want any fool
with a tftp client to start downloading kernels from me.  DHCP I don't
care about since ip/dhcpd only answers for clients it knows about by
default, and the immediate subnet is pretty trustworthy.  The upshot
of all this is that I modified tftpd to add a ``-A'' option which takes
an announce string, so one can specify an interface to announce on.
E.g., ``ip/tftpd -A 'udp!192.168.1.4!69' '' sort of thing.  A diff in
diff -e format is below.  Are there any objections for adding this to
the distribution?
