libdnet was already broken by a different change (visability
conditionals on IFNAMSIZ), but this change would break it more.  It's a
pretty simple fix (replace fr_to_ipfw_device with strlcpy).  It should
be noted that libdnet's ipfw support is already broken because it
doesn't handle wildcards. libpcap doesn't require any patches.

I've already told kris I'd provide fixes for the ports this change breaks.
