Work is proceeding slowly, but should be ramping up soon in the next
couple of weeks.  Its something we need to have.

That said, having looked a bunch at wpa_supplicant again, I'm no longer
convinced that it should be standalone.  I'm just not sure, but it
depends on how much the upstream maintainer _dis_likes patches that
would give the ability to turn wpa_supplicant into a library.  He's
stated that he doesn't see a reason to do so in the past, but perhaps
we've just got more convincing to do.
