ifconfig do not print output when connecting via ssh

[tzach]

ifconfig print output to console just fine, but when also connecting using ssh, output is still going to the console.

[nyh]

This is happening because ifconfig is a C program.

If ifconfig was a Java program using JNI for the low-level stuff, we
wouldn't have this problem.

If we want to leave it in C, we either need per-thread stdout (see
cloudius-systems/osv#90), or, as an ugly hack:
change ifconfig into a JNI which returns all its output as one string - and
have Java code print it.
