Extends wpa_supplicant 0.6.2 to support IBSS mode

Some parts of step three I already finished. So I can send and receive encrypted
data between two stations in ad-hoc mode after successfull 4-way handshake.
For this I modified some parts in hostapd, wpa_supplicant and important
in the madwifi driver.

Now I'm working on step two merging hostapd and wpa_supplicant like test_wpa.c
it shows. First I add a new struct wpa to wpa_supplicant_i.h with two members
struct wpa_global *supp and struct hostapd_iface *auth. After this I change the
wpa_supplicant_init in wpa_supplicant.c in this way that it create the struct wpa.
Now I try to add the hostapd init functions in wpa_supplicant.c.
Am I on the right way? Or it is better to merge the wpa struct of test_wpa.c in
wpa_supplicant because it contains the basic functionality?
It will be also great if somebody have helpful hints for me or can help me to realize
step two!

Kindest regards,
 Christian
