this patch fixes run_parts when it's called by ifupdown. 1) argv has to be a
NULL terminated char* array, not just a string. 2) run_parts now explicitly
sets the environment. this environment is populated from the
/etc/network/interfaces config file and is needed by the scripts in
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/. when run-parts is called from the command line the
environment is taken from the current process.

You can simplify this if use:
+ bb_xasprintf(&buf[0], "/etc/network/if-%s.d", opt);
+ buf[1] = NULL;

+ run_parts(&buf, 2, environ);
+ free(buf[0]);

modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc. With this, there should be no more
need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the
config system. I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may
have made some mistakes, so watch closely.

start-stop-daemon man page:
-b|--background
Typically used with programs that don't detach on their own.
This option will force start-stop-daemon to fork before starting
the process, and force it into the background. WARNING:
start-stop-daemon cannot check the exit status if the process
fails to execute for any reason. This is a last resort, and is
only meant for programs that either make no sense forking on
their own, or where it's not feasible to add the code for it to
do this itself.
This is usefull for applets like watchdog

Lineo. So it seems I totally forgot about this patch until now.
Sorry about that David!
