dhcpcd-4.0.0-alpha2 ready for review

[Roy Marples]

And hopefully the last!
http://roy.marples.name/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-4.0.0-alpha2.tar.bz2

Changes from alpha1
dhcpcd.sh is now looking slick and minimal.
ntp, nis and hostname lookup have been moved into example hook scripts.
dhcpcd.conf is now installed by default to request everything dhcpcd.sh needs,
and ntp-servers also.
classless_static_routes="1.2.3.4/8 5.6.7.8/16" is now exported to the script.
dhcpcd.sh and dhcpcd.conf now have man pages.

The last thing todo is decide on the following
Do we want per interface conigs in dhcpcd.conf? If so provide an example.
We currently trim leading and trailing whitespace in dhcpcd.conf. Should we
provide a complex mechanism to allow spaces at the start/end of values?
If the hostname is an FQDN (foo.bar.com) should we transmit it as such by
default?

Thanks

Of course, I meant something like
classless_static_routes="10.0.0.0/8 10.2.3.1 192.168.1.0/16 192.168.2.3"

Thanks

alpha3 allows quoting strings and basic escaping.
per interface configs sections are now allowed.

Looking other the old threads, the only thing that I've not done that's been
asked is to wang a link manager into dhcpcd. My stance on this hasn't changed
as I don't think a DHCP client is the right place.

So it's now done. I've done what you've all asked.
What happens with it now is up to you guys.

Thanks

Roy
