[Buildroot] [PATCH] openvpn: Fix paths to external utilities

[Valentine Barshak]

This sets paths to ifconfig, route, netstat and ip
in the target root filesystem.

Otherwise the paths leak from the host and may not
match those on the target.

And what happens if i install let's say iproute2 which provides a
nicer/bigger /sbin/ip instead of using the busybox one?

You'll be surprised to see openvpn fail to find it :)

Unless you build on the latest fedora, which has this stuff in 
/usr/sbin. So you won't see any difference, because it has failed to 
find it before.

I'll submit new version with BR2_PACKAGE_IPROUTE2 check.

Thanks,
Val.
