Yay. I knew I'd be vindicated one day for adding redundant functionality
to netstat (netstat -g's Group Memberships vs ifmcstat). :-)

I say we keep netstat -g and nuke ifmcstat -- it's not even useful for the
'I've got a coredump file here and I want to know what the multicast groups
were when I took the dump' situation as it takes no other arguments.

If we need *that* functionality it should go elsewhere as per Brooks'
suggestion to me in private email, IMHO.
