What point me that we must solve the ip <-> all problem in ipfw2

ip from any to any
match all traffic, not only ip.  So this must be deprecated and all used

Also, this must be take in account when pretty-print is done.

Apart of this, I'm still have problems with ipfw and rules without body:
- skipto 30000
+ skipto 30000 all from any to any
