Given an IPv4 address and prefix for a shared config, figure out
the DHCP address range automatically. To keep things simple we
allow a max of 252 addresses (not including network address,
broadcast address, and the hotspot) no matter what prefix you use,
so if the address is 10.0.10.1, you still only get a range of
10.0.10.2 -> 10.0.10.254.
But we also leave some addresses available above the host address
for static stuff, like we did before. This is done on a sliding
scale from 0 to 8 addresses, where about 1/10th the number of
available addresses are reserved.

If the interface who's IP configuration is being captured has the default
route, then read DNS servers from resolv.conf into the NMIP[4|6]Config.
This allows NetworkManager to repopulate resolv.conf if anything changes.
For example, if the system does not define a persistent hostname, then
when a device which has generated a connection activates, a hostname
lookup will be performed. The results of that lookup may change resolv.conf,
and thus NetworkManager must rewrite resolv.conf. Without capturing
DNS information at startup when generating connections, an empty
resolv.conf would be written.
Add --enable-modify-system, to change the default for
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system to allow users
to edit system connections without needing to authenticate.
Rather than generating enum classes by hand (and complaining in each
file that "this should really be standard"), use glib-mkenums.
Unfortunately, we need a very new version of glib-mkenums in order to
deal with NM's naming conventions and to fix a few other bugs, so just
import that into the source tree temporarily.
Also, to simplify the use of glib-mkenums, import Makefile.glib from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/654395.
To avoid having to run glib-mkenums for every subdirectory of src/,
add a new "generated" directory, and put the generated enums files
there.
Finally, use Makefile.glib for marshallers too, and generate separate
ones for libnm-glib and NetworkManager.
For VPN connections, the interface name would be that of the VPN's
IP interface, but the script environment would be the that of the
VPN's parent device. Enhance the environment by adding any VPN
specific details as additional environment variables prefixed by
"VPN_". Leave the existing environment setup intact for backwards
compatiblity.
Additionally, the dispatcher never got updated for IPv6 support,
so push IPv6 configuration and DHCPv6 configuration into the
environment too.
Even better, push everything the dispatcher needs to it instead
of making the dispatcher make D-Bus requests back to NM, which
sometimes fails if NM has already torn down the device or the
connection which the device was using.
And add some testcases to ensure that we don't break backwards compat,
the testcases here were grabbed from a 0.8.4 machine with a hacked up
dispatcher to dump everything it was given from NM.
This pulls in network.target from NetworkManager.service (and not the
other way round), as suggested and agreed on on the systemd ML:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2011-March/001692.html
This also introduces an auxiliary service
NetworkManager-wait-online.service that can be used to order a unit
after the point where the network is available. When this is enabled
with "systemd enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service" the unit
network.target will be delayed until the network is up, which is
suitable for synchronizing NFS mounts and similar to it.

Due to an error in the loop logic, if there were no connections yet (like
a fresh install or a livecd or whatever) no default name would be returned
and thus ethernet devices wouldn't come up automatically. Fix that loop
error and add testcases for it.
Add the necessary annotations (the mininum required, that is those
on return values. NULL parameters or container types may require
more), and the Autotools stuff to get a NetworkManager GIR for
libnm-util and a NMClient for libnm-glib.
Given connection details, complete the connection as well as possible
using the given specific object and device, add it to system
settings, and activate it all in one method.
