  Maybe.  radattr is really a test tool for RFC6929 attributes.  And now
for parsing %{...} expansions, and conditions in unlang.  It should have
no end-user utility.

  dhcpclient is a *very* bad DHCP client.  It's meant for testing the
DHCP functionality of the server.  Because the other DHCP clients always
want to go poke interfaces with new IP addresses.

  The radsniff, etc. could be put into a "tools" package.  radattr and
dhcpclient should probablt just be skipped during the "make install"
process.  I'll go see if I can do that.
