[Babel-users] More about the BSD port

After some minor tweaking, the newly-revived BSD port appears to work on
Mac OS X.  More or less.

There are two issues.  First, kernel_route sometimes returns EINVAL and
fails to install a route.  According to Grégoire Henry (the original
author of the BSD port), this is due to attempting to install routes
with no gateway to a node that does not belong to the local prefix.
Under Linux, I work around that by using the onlink flag; is there
anything similar under BSD?

The second issue is that kernel_routes (notice the s -- yep, I'm not
very good at naming functions) is IPv6-only.  This means that the BSD
port won't be able to redistribute IPv4 routes.
