Description of Problem:
Add ability to set a delay period for dhcpcd for the /sbin/ifup script

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
7.2

I altered the /sbin/ifup file to allow you to add DHCP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT to any 
ifcfg-eth* file (such as /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Can you please build this into the Redhat distribution (and possibly add this 
to the kernel for all distributions)? (I'm not entirely sure if its 100% 
correctly done, but it works for me ;-)
