I agree, but net/if.h includes it for some non-obvious reason.

I also agree that the #ifdef is probably not optimal -- possibly this
should be done differently, such as by #ifdef'ing in if.h -- but after
a couple of days I had to allow pkgsrc/x11/xorg to build again. We can
change it around though if we have a definitive solution.
