New Revision: 282355
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/282355

Log:
  After r281643 an #ifdef IFT_FOO preprocessor directive returns false,
  since types became a enum C type.  Some software uses such ifdefs to
  determine whether an operating systems supports certain interface type.
  Of course, such check is bogus. E.g. FreeBSD defines about 250 interface
  types, but supports only around 20.
  However, we need not upset such software so provide a set of defines. The
  current set was taken to suffice the dhcpd.
