While it may very well be beneficial to have explict uiplib_ip4addrconv() and uiplib_ip6addrconv() available for IPv6 builds I'm having a hard time to see the point in uiplib_ip6addrconv() for IPv4 builds.
Unrelated to the above the dispatching of uiplib_ipaddrconv() to either uiplib_ip4addrconv() or uiplib_ip6addrconv() can be accomplished by the C preprocessor only thus avoiding the size/speed overhead of an additional callframe.
This is a major change to how the main tick interrupt is handled on
the mc1322x platforms. Instead of using two timer resources, TMR0 and
RTC, this patch unifies all the timers to use the RTC. This is enabled by
implementing etimers as scheduled rtimers. The main advantage (aside
from freeing TMR0 for general use) is have the Contiki timebase come
from the same source that will be used for sleeping and wakeup.
Better match user expectations by allowing to download plain disk images and configure the IP settings afterwards on the target machine - then most likely leveraging DHCP. This works for the users with the most usual Ethernet adapter and settings - which are now pre-configured in default.cfg's. Only the few users with non-default Ethernet adapter and/or settings are required to download a custom contiki.cfg and inject it manually into their disk image files.
This patch enables automatic route setup and cleanup when
starting and stopping the minimal-net target on OS X.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
Using the minimal-net target on OS X was absolute hell
before I came up with this patch. Now it is painless.
The minimal-net target, as currently written, wakes up the
CPU every millisecond to check for packets, and will only
react in real-time to input from stdin. If you are running
this on a laptop battery, your battery will quickly drain.
This change allows the CPU to idle when there is literally
nothing to do while still being responsive to input from
stein and/or incoming packets. This fix should significantly
improve performance while significantly improving power
usage. Win-win.
Also added `_xassert()` implementation so that the contiki-
provided `assert()` macro will work properly when used
on this platform.
This loads Makefile.target into Makefile so we can check for TARGET==sky
when building this. Compilation for sky fails without it.

Setting UIP_CONF_IPV6 to zero from the make build command line is
something that seems like it should ensure that IPv6 is disabled, but in
fact it actually *enables* IPv6. This seems counter intuitive, so this
patch changes the behavior of the makefiles to handle this case
properly.
