What I didn't like about your last patch was the close coupling of the
CIDR/netmask processing to the v4-to-v6 conversion; as Andrew pointed
out, you were hacking into hba.c functionality that overlapped with
SockAddr_cidr_mask. Doing the conversion after we've collected the
netmask seems a lot cleaner to me. Also, this way keeps a fairly decent
separation of interests between hba.c (parsing the hba.conf syntax) and
ip.c (messing with address representations).

It is ugly (and I didn't write it ;-)). But if we palloc'd a modified
version of the token we'd have to remember to pfree it, so it nets out
to about the same amount of code either way I think. If you wanna try
to clean it up more, be my guest ...
