This is based on git 0.9.7.997 but appears to apply to master also.

Besides duid-UUID now working, I tested getting a sysadmin specified 
default-duid
from /etc/dhclient6.leases, /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient6.leases, 
/var/lib/dhclient/dhclient6.leases,
or from the NetworkManger connection-specific lease file.

I suggest this be applied before releasing 0.9.8.0.

I rebased to nm-0-9-8 with no problems or corrections needed.
