Comment (by yurivict271):
The de-facto new way of enabling of USE_TRANSPARENT is checking for both
net/if.h and net/pfvar.h. This makes it always enabled even when not
needed.
FYI, the FreeBSD port has a special option TRANSPARENT, off by default,
that is rendered broken now.
Since transparent proxy is needed only by a small fraction of users, I
suggest the behavior should be:
1. there have to be --enable-transparent/--disable-transparent options
2. --disable-transparent should be the default
3. the above-mentioned headers should be checked only when the option is
enabled
Also, checking net/pfvar.h is questionable since transparent proxy can be
used with other than pf firewalls.
