ppp's ip-{up,down} and possible utilization of 'run-parts'

["Adam P. Harris" <apharris@onshore.com>]

Maybe I should submit this as a wishlist to the bug system, but I was
interested in getting some comments first.

I think that /etc/ppp/ip-up and /etc/ppp/ip-down should use
'run-parts' against, say, the directories /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}.d/.

This would allow, for instance, MTA packages to ship little scripts to
flush the mail queue when the link comes up, pop-deamons to start up,
bind to reload, clock sync daemons to re-sync, firewall and
masquerading rules to run, and dynamic PPP hosts to update some file
on some server indicating their current IP.
