Advanced Policy Firewall
(http://www.rfxn.com/projects/advanced-policy-firewall/) seems to be similar to
firehol.  I've looked at it but haven't tried it out since firehol still meets
my needs.

fwbuilder is, in my mind, quite different and not nearly as useful, since it
can't be scripted.  It's fundamentally a GUI tool, and I find that the GUI
actually obscures the high-level view that I want of my firewall.  A
firehol+bash script is clearer and more flexible.
