Summary:                    [PATCH] Kill annoying log messages in udhcp-client
Description: 
On my system, there is a USB-NET interface that is configured at boot time
with DHCP. Most of the time, this is not connected to any PC, so DHCP is
just waiting for the underlying USB connection to happen.

This works fine, however it fills the logs :

------------------------------------------------

I'm glad that I could configure udhcp messages on syslog, because on the
console it would become anoying fast. However, on my embedded system, the
filesystem is limited, and I don't like the idea of the syslog files
filled up with useless info and bringing my system down...

The patch attached allow to disable those messages with a simple config
option. As a side effect, it also reduced the footprint of udhcp...
