From: Lev Stipakov <lev@openvpn.net>

Followin DHCP options:

  DOMAIN, ADAPTER_DOMAIN_SUFFIX, DNS, WINS

don't require DHCP server in order to be used.

This change allows those options to be used with dco and wintun
drivers. If an option specified which requires DHCP server and
tap-windows6 driver is not used, print a clear error message
instead of obscure reference to --ip-win32.

This fixes https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/issues/239

     as bit flags

wouldn't SHOW_UNSIGNED be more appropriate since this is a bitfield?

This is its definition:

options.c:987:#define SHOW_UNSIGNED(var)  SHOW_PARM(var, o->var, "0x%08x")

This definition seems to be unused by the way :)

I am not sure if "0x00000003" is better than "3" (we have only two
flags). Something like 00000011b would be clearer, but we don't have
SHOW_BINARY.

Personally I find the hex representation better when you want to print a 
bitfield.

The fact we are using hex kinda tells me already that it's not the value 
"3" that we care about.

And later is may become "10". Imho it just gets more confusing.

Cheers,
