Apparently a matter of 18 days ;-)
So I read the Wikipedia pages for DHCP and BOOTP, skimmed over the various RFCs
and wrapped my head around the high level functionality of the grub network
stack. After starring a while at Andrei's patch I think I figured what he did.
So I managed to break it down into a series of refactoring patches, with some
patches on top to add the actual DHCP functionality.
I will clean that up and try to test it as far as possible.

Prepare for a series of 9 patches (at the moment) later this week. ;-)
Cheers,
Andre.
