ah, right. Okay, since you asked.

Before aggregate became well-known I wrote this utility:
http://eyezone.mine.nu/source/monitor/index.php

It has been obsoleted by much of aggregate but it will also combine 
sequential CIDR blocks. Output maps to CIDR boundaries where possible or 
as full ranges where the boundaries do not match.
You can overrider the CIDR before building if you like but cutting teh 
top half of make_range() in monitor_x.cpp.

I have not maintained it since aggregate came out and there have been 
some major changes to the glibc libraries so you _will_ need to grab the 
source and self-compile.

IP loading is a rough hack still, so it is slow on large lists.
