I would prefer that we just set the timeout to a sensible value by
default and leave it at that -- making it configurable seems a bit much,
particularly at compile-time.

I have had other bug reports that users need DHCP timeouts in the 30~40
second range.  To be sure, most ifup scripts wait longer than 25s.

Dan, any thoughts here on a bump?
