Done.  I tested on my -current (compiled on Oct 22) the patch you can
find at http://labs.gr/~charon/patches/diff.04.ipf-rc-U
It is functionally equivalent to our current rc.network behavior, but
it uses the variables you proposed, and it moves all the flags out of
all the XXX_program variables.

Comments on this are more than welcome...
