Looking more carefully at the code in ConnMan started to reveal the
relative age of the DHCP client part and showed some interesting code
that might not be entirely correct. After removing the GLib main loop
parts not too much valuable code was left behind. I have kept one eye in
the existing code to find additions for picky servers so I hope the
lessons learned have not been lost. I'm more positive with the DHCPv6
part, that implementation has more reusable parts.

I'm not too worried about having two copies for now, the one in ConnMan
would have met its fate anyway a bit later.
