Heya, there will be some delays, I've just found out I need to support
ocaml 4.01, currently charrua-core is requiring 4.02, so I can't
integrate the code into mirage-skeleton
(https://github.com/mirage/mirage-skeleton/pull/105).

I've started the post at
https://github.com/haesbaert/mirage-www/blob/master/tmpl/blog/introducing-charrua-dhcp.md

It's not really reviewable at this time, I need to get charrua on 4.01
and make a new opam release first.
