[bind10-dev] New components in trac

Hi,
DHCP work is progressing. The code itself has grown and we are expecting
further chunks of code soon. Until now, we were happy with just one
component: DHCP, but I would like to have it split into a bit finer
grains. I propose the following components:

dhcp4 - anything related to upcoming DHCPv4 daemon (server)
dhcp6 - anything related to existing DHCPv4 daemon (server)
libdhcp - anything related to a libdhcp, a DHCP packet library
perfdhcp - anything related to perfdhcp, a benchmarking/test tool that
         is being developed

One of those components will replace existing "dhcp". Alternatively, we
can keep dhcp as a generic dhcp-related component that does not match
proposed classification.

That would be enough for now. If we are thinking about things that we
will be doing in the next 6 months or so, also adding those would be
useful as well:

dhcpdb - "dhcp data source", or "dhcp backend" for abstract storage and
         not-so abstract SQL backend.
dhcpconf - "dhcp configuration" will be worked on soon (around
         December). That is for storing DHCP configuration, which
         unfortunately is still hardcoded for now.

Not sure if we prefer short names or longer, descriptive ones.

Note: There are currently 69 tickets in DHCP component (both open and
closed).

Cheers,
Tomek
