[rancid] [PATCH] Add support for the Cisco WLC

[Michael Stefaniuc]

Hello guys,

I hoped that somebody would beat me to add the Cisco WLC upstream...
Though there was a lot of interest in testing such a patch so here it
is.  Especially testing on versions 4.x is needed as I could test it
only on 5.2.x and 6.0.x.

The attached patch is heavily based on the scripts posted by Ryan West
here on rancid-discuss
(http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2010-February/004652.html).

The patch applies on top of 2.3.3 and the license of the portions done 
by me is as always "whatever it takes to get the patch accepted upstream".


My modifications:
-----------------
- Rename ciscowlc5 to wlcrancid.
- Rename wlogin to wlclogin.
- Merge support for version 4.x into wlcrancid (*untested*).
- Add -V command line arg to wlclogin/wlcrancid.
- Remove the "!--WLC Begin Config Data--" markers.
- Cleanups in wlcrancid (indentation, whitespace).
- Added the needed configure/Makefile changes.

Todo:
-----
I might work on this items, when I get the time for it is a totally
different story.
- Add man pages for wlclogin/wlcrancid
- From the parsed info generate the headers (comments) that rancid adds,
   e.g.:
   + !Chassis type:
   + !Processor ID:
   + !Image: Software:
- Get rid of the "!WLC Show Udi Start" and "!WLC Show Sysinfo Start"
   markers too.

bye
