Idea - Detecting IP conflicts in NM

There's an old project called ipwatchd to detect and notify users about
IP conflicts. Currently there's no way in NM to detect these kind of
conflicts causing the same IP to be used by different hosts.

Maybe the functionality of this daemon can be integrated into NM, or if
the kernel now replies to Gratuitous ARP requests, the task will be much
easier.

Ideas, thoughts?
