I see a few problems with including this:  it has the GPLv2 only license, it
is rather large still right now I think, and most important, I think it only
works with one of the plethora of DDNS sites out there.  I used to use
ez-ip-update to do this same thing for a while, and it worked with a wide
range of them.  In the end, I realized I could replace it all with a shell
script calling wget though ;-)
