Add guards to check whether IPv6 is supported by the kernel instead
of causing the module to fail to load. If IPv6 is not supported
these packets can still be encapsulated but they will not receive any
special treatment such as path MTU discovery.
This commit cleans up the locations of a number of files and directories
used. These include:
- Config file lives in /etc/openvswitch/conf.db
- Logs go into /var/log/openvswitch
- ovsdb-server socket is /var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
- Schema goes into /usr/share/openvswitch/vswitch.ovsschema
- PID files go in /var/run/openvswitch
For XenServer, these additional changes are made:
- Cores go in /var/xen/openvswitch
- OVS binaries run in /var/xen/openvswitch
In addition, it attempts to cleanup the XenServer packaging. This
includes referring to the project as "openvswitch" as opposed to the
somewhat presumptuous "vswitch".
Note: Changes to the Debian packaging will be forthcoming.
The documentation was inconsistent about assuming whether the installation
was to / or to /usr/local. Since the default is /usr/local, use that.

Our configure scripts were actually using Autoconf features introduced in
version 2.64 (e.g. AT_SKIP_IF, AT_CHECK_UNQUOTED), so we should not
claim 2.63 as prerequisite.

The Xen DDK VM does not include Python, so it's best if we don't have to
require it for the build.
The built sources are still regenerated if necessary.
It is inconvenient to type the whole path to the Unix daemon socket when
using ovs-appctl. Allow the name of the daemon to be used instead when
a pidfile exists in the default location, and contact ovs-vswitchd by
default.
Also, the various options for manipulating vlog were invented before the
general-purpose command mechanism existed. Get rid of all of the action
options in favor of just specifying the command to be executed as
non-option arguments.
Finally, there simply wasn't much value in allowing multiple targets or
options to be specified; these variations were never used in practice. So
simplify the interface by making it one target, one action per invocation.
Also, make ovs-vsctl use the same syntax for its --target option.

When the sources are pulled directly from Git, it is necessary to run
"./boot.sh" before "./configure" can be run. This commit documents that
useful bit of information.
We've gone through a couple of iterations for names of these mailing
lists. Currently, there are three: announce, discuss, and git. There
are aliases that point "bugs" and "dev" to the "discuss" mailing list.
This commit drops the "ovs-" prefix to mailing lists, since we're not
using them.
