Just looking over the 2.6.3 diffs I see that ifenslave is actively
maintained in Documenation/ of the kernel tree.  Isn't that a _really_
odd place for a userland tool?  We have a policy of not having any
userland tools not used for building in the kernel tree, and especially
none of the distributors will pick it up from there.
