Hello Guixers,

this patch adds udpcast. [1]

Unfortunately the official site seems to be not very reliable.  So I
decided to use a mirror site to download the archive. [2]

Thanks,

- Artyom

+classrooms of PC's at once.  The advantage of UDPcast over using other
+methods (nfs, ftp, whatever) is that UDPcast uses UDP's multicast abilities:
+it won't take longer to install 15 machines than it would to install just 2.")
