>Description:

	/etc/dhclient-enter-hooks cannot be used to override build of
	/etc/resolv.conf. The "make_resolv_conf" function defined in
	/sbin/dhclient (and overridable in dhclient-enter-hooks) is
	never actually called; its code is actually duplicated instead
	instead of the function being called.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Define a new make_resolv_conf() in /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks
	(I wanted to add to search path) and watch it get ignored.

	Incidentally, would it make more sense to add a "local_search_path"
	or similar to rc.conf and modify dhclient-script to source rc.conf
	and use this variable? (Probably not, but I'll send a patch to do
	it if required.)
