Oh. I didn't know /sbin/route wrapper is going away. Ok, that makes
sense.

And this is a pity really, because the difference is actually
very small, at least in the basic syntax. It is merely the
"gw" keyword which is required by linux route and not accepted
by freebsd route. Fixing _both_ of them should be trivial, so
_both_ will understand either form...

I know a route is assotiated with an interface.
What I'm unsure about is why dhcpc script is ready to
see "$route" being several words. It makes very little
sense even on linux, since only lowest-metric route will
be used anyway, and the rest will be ignored. But I've
no idea if "$route" variable from dhcpc can have >1 word.
This is unrelated to this freebsd/linux difference, but
since the changes are in the same area I just tried to
understand where this multiple-routes code in the script
comes from. Digging further... ;)
Here's what I'm after currently:
