My solution for a dhcp client.

[Jason Ish <jasoni-2_(_at_)_shaw_(_dot_)_wave_(_dot_)_ca>]

I have attached a patch for my changes to /etc/rc.conf and
/etc/netstart.  I just put rc.conf back to what it was before removing
dhcp_client and I changed /etc/netstart to evaluate a new flag in
/etc/hostname.*.

For my interface that is configure via dhcp I have made the file
/etc/hostname.ep0 which looks like
---
dhcp foo
---

I don't know if this is a 'correct' format for this file but its rather
trivial to change for now.

This patch correctly sets up ep0 (my dhcp interface) and configures my
other interface via hostname.ed0.

I am still unsure of what to put in /etc/hosts for the hostname that is
configure via dhclient, I am currently just using 127.0.0.1.
