Add new dnsmasq-devel version, for development/test/release candidate versions.
This port is based on dns/dnsmasq 2.62_1,1 and has been updated to 2.63rc2.
Description (by Simon Kelley, the upstream maintainer):
Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server.
It is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. It
can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The
DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with
DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either
in each host or in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and
dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP/TFTP/PXE for network booting of diskless
machines.
