Now merged. However, you remember the other evening I said I didn't
feel easy with these names. Now I know why. "ip" is the protocol,
not an address family nor whatever. So it's like using "tcpcmp" to
compare ports. But I also remember your point about the ambiguity in
the name "addr_cmp" since our addresses also carry a port. I think we
may have to rename all this stuff in a more consistent way before the
1.7 release. Probably that we should use "inet" or something like this
as in "inet_pton". We'll see, that's not important for now.

Thanks,
Willy
