According to the FSF, the 4-clause BSD license, which slirp is covered under,
is not compatible with the GPL or LGPL[1].

There are three declared copyright holders in slirp that use the 4-clause
BSD license, the Regents of UC Berkley, Danny Gasparovski, and Kelly Price.
Below are the appropriate permissions to remove the advertise clause from slirp
from each party.
Special thanks go to Richard Fontana from Red Hat for contacting all of the
necessary authors to resolve this issue!

To All Licensees, Distributors of Any Version of BSD:
As you know, certain of the Berkeley Software Distribution ("BSD") source
code files require that further distributions of products containing all or
portions of the software, acknowledge within their advertising materials
that such products contain software developed by UC Berkeley and its
contributors.
Specifically, the provision reads:
" * 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
* must display the following acknowledgement:
* This product includes software developed by the University of
* California, Berkeley and its contributors."
Effective immediately, licensees and distributors are no longer required to
include the acknowledgement within advertising materials. Accordingly, the
foregoing paragraph of those BSD Unix files containing it is hereby deleted
in its entirety.

Hi Richard,
I have no objection to having Slirp code in QEMU be licensed under the
3-clause BSD license.
Thanks for taking the effort to consult me about this.

Thanks for contacting me, Richard. I'm glad you were able to find
Dan, as I've been "keeping the light on" for Slirp. I have no use for
it now, and I have little time for it (now holding onto Keenspot's
Comic Genesis and having a regular US state government position). If
Dan would like to return to the project, I'd love to give it back to
him.
As for copyright, I don't own all of it. Dan does, so I will defer to
him. Any of my patches I will gladly license to the 3-part BSD
license. My interest in re-licensing was because we didn't have ready
info to contact Dan. If Dan would like to port Slirp back out of
QEMU, a lot of us 64-bit users would be grateful.
Feel free to share this email address with Dan. I will be glad to
effect a transfer of the project to him and Mr. Bellard of the QEMU
project.

Windows Vista drops unicast dhcp replies to its yet-unconfigured address,
so use a broadcast address. This behaviour is allowed by the RFC.

The emulated network cards in QEMU allows local users to execute arbitrary
code by writing Ethernet frames with a size larger than the slirp's default
MTU, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow in the slirp library.

Vectored IO APIs will require some sort of vector argument. It makes sense to
use struct iovec and just define it globally for Windows.

Right now, we sprinkle #if defined(QEMU_IMG) && defined(QEMU_NBD) all over the
code. It's ugly and causes us to have to build multiple object files for
linking against qemu and the tools.
This patch introduces a new file, qemu-tool.c which contains enough for
qemu-img, qemu-nbd, and QEMU to all share the same objects.
This also required getting qemu-nbd to be a bit more Windows friendly. I also
changed the Windows block-raw to use normal IO instead of overlapping IO since
we don't actually do AIO yet on Windows. I changed the various #if 0's to
#if WIN32_AIO to make it easier for someone to eventually fix AIO on Windows.
After this patch, there are no longer any #ifdef's related to qemu-img and
qemu-nbd.

At the same time remove a bogus test (tested by Jason Wessel).
Quiet some gcc4 warnings from slirp compilation.
