1.6.0 has been released, and I started looking again at bugs :)

I read the whole discussion again, and it seemed like every dhcp client
supported by wicd would've had pidfile support. This doesn't seem the case, to
me:

- dhclient -pf ...
- dhcpcd? (man dhcpcd-bin doesn't list any)
- pump? (man pump doesn't list any)
- udhcpc -p ...

So long, if I start patching wicd, we would need pidfile support at least at
the two missing ones.

I'll look into pump and dhcpcd, and eventually file bugs if needed.

Kindly,
David
