I was just hacking on something like this today.

The biggest issues that I saw were the need to put in a bunch of "if
${OSVERSION}" to keep track of being '< 4.6' (mark as FORBIDDEN = kernel
needs to be manually patched), and then another one to differentiate
between when if_wavelan_ieee.h was moved from /usr/include/machine to
/usr/include/dev/wi.

Warner, do you have the ${OSVERSION} tags for the header changes, or
should one just use ".if exists(/usr/include/dev/wi/..."?.  Also, were
all the appropriate bits in the /usr/include/machine/if_wavelan_ieee.h
file?
