RFC packaging for lcsync |

Have a work-in-progress patch series for lcsync:
https://librecast.net/lcsync.html
Librecast file and data syncing tool.
Compare data with merkle trees, sync via multicast.
blockers seem to be:
* issues around test suites
* not knowing the appropriate place or way to run "setcap
cap_net_raw=eip bin/lcsync" ... setuid root would not be appropriate
as that would allow overwriting nearly any file on the filesystem.
Will send patches shortly, one for the librecast library, and one for
lcsync itself.
live well,

I removed the failing network tests for now.

Since this can still be useful as root, I pushed without resolving this
issue. I think the approach outlined in the above bug report should work
in theory...
