I took this, cleaned it up and made it pass distcheck and commited.
However, whats the general deal with us maintaining a copy of the slirp
code from qemu? That code is in turn a cut and paste from an already
existing (autoconf-using) upstream library at:
http://slirp.sourceforge.net/
Why are we not using that? And if we have good reasons, why don't we
call our copy something that does not conflict with the original
package?
It is not the same as the upstream code. The main change: the original
code transfers the application layer of the packets to its destination
by using BSD sockets. We changed it to use a general interface for
socket, so we can use it to pass the packets to spice (tunnel channel).
No problem to change the name of the package...
