Running configuration twice on all interfaces is not 'very minimal' and
could easily cause more problems than it solves.

I would currently suggest either 1) use dhclient instead ("!dhclient
$_if" in the hostname file will do) or 2) configure that from rc.local
instead.
Most use of gif(4) doesn't need this. Is this so you can use hostnames
in the files, or something else?
