Of course if the info. were available in sysctl(), and administrative
programs used that, we wouldn't have to worry about order, spelling
changes, headers, whitespace, or added fields. You ask for e.g. packet
count, you get packet count, or an error return if the driver is too old
to support packet count. If you get a "not supported" return, you don't
show that column in the report.

Some things are not improved when made "graphical".  Imagine how crude
Kilmer's "Trees" would be if reduced to comic-book form.
