No problem with you taking this over.

My objective has always been to get the functionality implemented. When 
you get everything integrated integrated, give me a shout-out and I will 
be happy to test it.

I would appreciate knowing of anything wrong or just plain stupid that 
you find in the patch.  I tried to clean up all of the vestiges of the 
earlier version now that dhclient6 has a conf file.  I assume that the 
attached patch file is adequate but if you need anything else just ask.
