netstart: ifaliases now includes a netmask, to ensure
aliases work.
rc/rc.local: make _everything_ based on configuration
in rc.conf. also move things around such that DNS and

run /etc/rc.lkm if it exists, a boot time.

having linker hints for the daemons started by rc would not be
significant.
This change also closes bug #217.
