1) I don't think it's a good solution. The value returned by this

Firewall than ipfw installed and running (for instance NetBarrier,
FirewalkX or IPNetSentry).
Indeed. However, that doesn't make the API worthless, it just limits
its scope (it only works with Apple software) or complicates its
implementation (it has to query every installed firewall).
2) Isn't this a mission for SCNetwork.h?
It might make sense to put the functionality there. However, I'll
leave that up to the folks who do the real work. Right now those
engineers are all working hard to ship Panther.
