Some users have their routers configured to supply a DHCP range that
includes the local interface address.
That worked with dnsmasq because it automatically skips the local
address.
Re-enable those existing configurations for the release and hint at
possible future problems.

There's hardly an shell logic in ipcalc.sh and a $* that would garble
parameter positions.
Move the awk invokation to the shebang.
A rename from "ipcalc.sh" to "ipcalc" is desirable but could prove tricky
with packages in other repositories depending on the filename.

It's possible to move range boundaries in a way that the start address
lies behind the end address.
Detect this condition and exit with an error message.

With this patch, ipcalc only calculates range boundaries if the
corresponding parameters are supplied.

Calculate complements by using awk's xor() function with a mask of 0xffffffff
instead of relying on the compl() function which appears to produce broken
results on certain 64bit architectures.

the attached patch makes ipcalc.sh accept IP/Netmask combinations in
CIDR notation. Before you could only do:
# sh ipcalc.sh 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 1 10
IP=192.168.0.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
PREFIX=24
START=192.168.0.1
END=192.168.0.11
with this patch you can also execute it with:
sh ipcalc.sh 192.168.0.0/24 1 10
IP=192.168.0.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
PREFIX=24
START=192.168.0.1
END=192.168.0.11
The patch is based on #1260 [1], i just changed one line to calculate
the START end END ips right. I wonder why that never got included. If
there is no reason not to do i would like to ask you to commit that
patch, because its a functionality i (and probably others) miss quite often.
Btw, i also fixed 4 useless tabs, that might look a bit strange in the
patch.
