* Ad Ad-Hoc networking mode support. In Ad-Hoc mode, we only try to get
link-local addresses instead of doing DHCP.
* In the panel applet, there's a new "Create new Wireless Network..." item
* The panel applet also sticks around now even if NetworkManager dies, but
it doesn't hide its icon when NM isn't around. Not hiding the icon is
a bug, I'll fix that later.
* We also don't use 'nscd' anymore in the RH backend, it was impeding name
lookups after a switch rather than actually doing them.
* Clean up some of those warnings in nm_ap_list_* functions
* Delay between scans changed to 15s instead of 10s

Patch from Tom Parker
* Add autoip/Link Local Addressing support when we fail to get a DHCP
address
* Longer pause after setting ESSID on cards that support a larger number
of channels to give the card time to find the right channel
* Add system hook to restart mDNSResponder (or whatever the local implementation
of Multicast DNS is) when we activate interfaces

* Major rework of the DHCP code, taking some cues from pump. We don't
write raw Ethernet packets anymore, which simplifies the code quite
a bit. The new code should be more robust, not hang in recvfrom()
as much, and generally work better. This also means that we need
to force HAL/dbus to use a created GMainContext rather than the
default context, since having the DHCP renew/rebind thread using
its own GMainContext seemed to give dbus a fit. There is also more
debugging information printed from the DHCP loop to help with future
problems.
* Also, if the DHCP server doesn't give us the "routersOnSubnet" option,
assume that the default gateway should be the DHCP server.

- Fix compilation error due to missing "ip4_broadcast"

Major rework of link detection code. We now use DHCP
as part of the link detection which proves to be much more robust,
and also supports Open System authentication for wireless networks.
We no longer use external DHCP client programs. Instead, we use
our own DHCP client, based on substantially reworked bits of 'dhcpcd'
which was written by:
Yoichi Hariguchi <yoichi@fore.com>
Sergei Viznyuk <sv@phystech.com>
http://www.phystech.com/download/
It resides in the "dhcpcd" directory and was refactored into a general
purpose DHCP client library by me.
Also misc fixes (CPPFLAGS->AM_CPPFLAGS, move some stuff around),
move src/backends/NetworkManagerSystem.h -> src/NetworkManagerSystem.h
