Thanks, I've added it to CVS.

Yes, at least Red Hat < 8 and probably also Mandrake/SuSE uses dhcpcd 
(DHCP Client *Daemon*, a source of much confusion). So, I also added a 
Slackware specific check for the dhcpc directory.

Please confirm that the directory on Slackware is /etc/dhcpc/ but that 
the actual files are still /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-<if>.exe and 
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-<if>.pid? Seems strange to remove the 'd' from the 
directory but not the files.
