Attached is the updated patch and upstream is again on Cc. I changed
the changelog entry a bit from what Luar sent, and verified that the
patch is sane and obeys style rules etc. I also rephrased the
manpage description.

Still waiting for upstream to give an okay. This is not to sound
impatient, just telling the world that I haven't received one yet.
:)

 Tell the user what is going on by being verbose. Especially print some
 useful information about unconfigured address families.

+Do not truncate IP addresses by using output as wide as needed. This is
