Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

the USE=old-output flag needs to die.  can we convert minissdpd over to iproute2 which has easier machine parsing ?  or at least fix the code base to not rely on the old format anymore ?  this is the last package in the tree.

The only place where ifconfig is needed is in the init script, to parse out the ipv4 address, so this is a trivial fix.  In fact, I could even add intelligence to the init script to check for the existance of ifconfig or ip.  I haven't done so yet, but in case we start moving away from net-tools to iproute2, this package should not pose a problem.

minissdpd-1.2.20140906-r1 has the fix,  minissdpd-1.2.20140906 doesn't, just in case.  Next bump and old-format will be gone.
