AutoIP is simple and definitely implementable within eCos (though I think 
of little value in adding to the base OS). It essentially consists of 
picking an IP address and pinging it to see if someone else owns it. If no, 
then you squat on that address.

"... a man who is endowed with real qualities of leadership will be tempted 
to refrain from taking part in political life; because [...] the situation 
does not call for a man who has a capacity for constructive statesmanship 
but rather for a man who is capable of bargaining for the favour of the 
majority. Thus the situation will appeal to small minds and will attract 
them accordingly."
