Yep, got every point as far as I could see. I reworded the documentation
a bit, and moved networkxml2argv* to networkxml2conf* (both the program
and the data directory), rebased on top of latest master, and pushed.

Thanks for the long hours you put into this. With all the debugging of
dnsmasq you had to do, this definitely took longer than the average new
feature.
