I won't guarantee that http://bsdly.net/~peter/freebsd/fw.diff still
applies cleanly (dated 15 November 2006), but it's there to be taken and
processed by anybody who feels the urge for more PF content in that
chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook.  The text is all mine, taken from the
online tutorial at http://home.nuug.no/~peter/pf/ (also referenced in
the diff), which has both pre-4.7 and post-4.7 syntax where the two
differ and is, as always, BSD licensed.

It may also be worth mentioning that The Book of PF, 2nd edition has
both pre- and post-4.7 material. That book did not yet exist when I made
the patch, but a reference to it might be appropriate to mention it in
the PF section of the handbook as possible resource, say by way of a
reference to the book's home page (http://nostarch.com/pf2.htm) or
somesuch.
