It depends.  This is a fork of the isc client so some of that will still
be supported, for example dhclient.conf is still supported.  Other stuff
many require the use of the isc one which will be tricky because they
have vastly differnet modes of operation and thus the startup scripts
scripts are different.

I intend to treat this as code we can modify so if we need features,
they can be added.  We've also heard form Ted Lemon recently and he's
working on simplifying the ISC code so at some point in the future, we
could switch back if that were warranted.
