Interesting.   When I was writing my DHCP client script, I mentally
edited that piece of the stock network setup code to do what you
suggested.   I think you are correct, and this should go in the
ifconfig loop, although I'm unsure how to implement it given the
format of the $ifconfig_xxx variables and the /etc/ifconfig.xxx file.
