I have updated the wicd package build, daemon script, and install script.

All the files are now in /usr /etc and /var using standard paths

/usr/bin/wicd-client contains both the tray and gui elements now and 
/usr/lib/wicd/daemon.py is the daemon.

I have included the update tar file.

Hopefully Varun (the maintainer) can use this as a base for the new 
package. Anyone who wants the new version of wicd can also use this 
package. I have the pkgrel set to 0 so that when an official package 
comes out pacman will pick it up. This package works on my system, but 
of course I can not guarantee it won't blow up your system!
