Message:

add PLIP module, which I missed for a while
- should work on 2.4 and 2.6
- parport only on brcm-2.4 asus-wl500g for now tho
- tested build, but not (yet) use

PLIP is useful if you want to connect a laptop
with no built-in ethernet (80486-class) to another
computing device, although, due to the use of the
polling method, both should have about the same
CPU speed (otherwise, the fast one will be slowed
down, ever seen a 2 GHz Athlon crawl like a 33 MHz
80486? it looks funny)
