My feeling at this point is that it's not worth spending any effort on.
But if someone wants to expend effort, let's go with Jan's
random-signature idea. That is simple, unquestionably portable, and
AFAICS it defends against more than the source-address check would
defend against, even after we got it right. (Consider spoofed packet
source addresses.)
