Hi Brooks.  I'll be testing this out shortly and plan to commit it soon.
One question I had for you was how we want to handle dhclient with
respect to OpenBSD -- I seem to recall that we've decided to own our
dhclient after the import.  So it would be advantageous if OpenBSD
decides to take the patch, but not necessary.
