 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.
