I know this is a little biased, but I've just reviewed all the standard
DHCP options Windows DHCP server has and I think if you were to add the
following options, that would cover all the useful ones actually on
offer (fighting words I know! ;-)

*  TFTP (150)
* WPAD (252)

Even then WPAD isn't really needed as there's a much better alternative
(wpad.* dns name) that works fine over openvpn, and the TFTP one is
really just because of Cisco's product (I can't think of any other non
boot-time application that wants to use TFTP to gain data - haven't they
heard of SRV DNS records???)

That would make for a small patch ;-)

PS: I ignored my favorite "sounds useful, but is poorly supported"
Timezone (101) option because your computer's timezone should always
come from your physical location - not the remote end of a VPN tunnel. I
think a lot of DHCP options aren't needed for the same reason
