Proposed 2.4.5 ebuild

This is a first pass at a new ppp-2.4.5 ebuild. It was based primarily off of the existing ppp-2.4.4 ebuild, with a few exceptions. Notes:

1. Patches that didn't apply cleanly were simply removed as I didn't have the time or inclination to figure out if they were still necessary.

2. Uses the latest eaptls-mppe patch available from http://www.nikhef.nl/~janjust/ppp. I didn't test using the older mppe-mppc. Not sure the patch applies cleanly anymore. Probably should just remove that part of the ebuild as I don't think we need it anymore?

3. Removed the dhcp use flag and associated patches as they didn't apply cleanly anymore. I didn't have a requirement for that.

4. All patches are in FILESDIR/patches instead of a separate tarball. Earlier way of distribution probably easier.

5. All patches and contents of files will be attached after this ebuild.

The pppol2tp.so and openl2tp.so plugin files are not installed.

I've submitted the new ebuild to the tree, but it is p.masked as I didn't had time to test it yet.

The only feature missing in the new version is the MPPC support. The original kernel and pppd patches haven't been updated for ages, I guess MPPC support on Linux is dead.
