It goes like this:

Build time: by default configure checks for both dhclient and dhcpcd on
the build system.  If any exist, they are enabled.  If you don't want to
hard-dep during build time you can configure with
--with-dhclient=/path/to/dhclient and --with-dhcpcd=/path/to/dhcpcd.

Runtime: the runtime client choice is by default dhclient (see
src/NetworkManager.c) unless overriden.  That should probably be fixed
such that if dhclient does not exist, but dhcpcd's path is valid,
default to dhcpcd.
