AFAIU, the problem is that current contrib/ipfilter was never merged
from vendor/ipfilter. So, actually we are dealing with a first import
(from subversion viewpoint), not n-th.

What I'd prefer to see is the following:

- commit new ipfilter untouched to vendor-sys/ipfilter
- nuke sys/contrib/ipfilter
- svn copy vendor-sys/ipfilter to sys/netpfil/ipfilter

In future imports do:

- commit newer ipfilter to vendor-sys/ipfilter
- svn merge vendor-sys/ipfilter to sys/netpfil/ipfilter

What's the reason to keep code in contrib?
