Huh.  I'd forgotten until looking at this series that we had the -n
option.  We probably do need this change, but in general I think we'd
be better off deprecating -n, in favour of allowing a prefix len as
part of the -a option, e.g.

	-a 10.0.0.1/24 -a 10.0.0.2/16

That could be a smaller change preliminary to this series.
