I took this, cleaned it up and made it pass distcheck and commited.

However, whats the general deal with us maintaining a copy of the slirp
code from qemu? That code is in turn a cut and paste from an already
existing (autoconf-using) upstream library at: 

  http://slirp.sourceforge.net/

Why are we not using that? And if we have good reasons, why don't we
call our copy something that does not conflict with the original
package?
