[rancid] patch suggestion for Cisco Mobile Express

[Bjarne Saltbæk]

Hi

I am using the 3.9 version for backing up Cisco Mobility Express config on a Cisco Aironet 1830.

I was getting random garbage in the config by using

/etc/rancid/rancid.types.base
cisco-wlc8;script;rancid -t cisco-wlc8
cisco-wlc8;login;wlogin
cisco-wlc8;timeout;120
cisco-wlc8;module;ciscowlc
cisco-wlc8;inloop;ciscowlc::inloop
cisco-wlc8;command;ciscowlc::ShowUdi;show udi
cisco-wlc8;command;ciscowlc::ShowSysinfo;show sysinfo
cisco-wlc8;command;ciscowlc::ShowConfig;show run-config commands

changed ShowConfig from run-config commands to 

cisco-wlc8;command;ciscowlc::ShowConfig;show run-config startup-commands

But then ended up with new dates on every diff.
Fixed it by patching wlogin

Feel free to add this to the upstream code.
