[Babel-users] providing a sample babeld.conf in the distro

Well, the message I'm trying to send is that babeld "just works" -- you
don't need a babeld.conf for normal usage, you're only supposed to use
one if you have special needs.

(As mentioned on IRC, you appear to be having another problem -- babeld
should detect that there already is a default route, and not install the
default route learned from Babel.  So it looks like the FreeBSD port is
not fully functional after all.)

I'll be glad to include a sample conf file in the source distribution,
but I'd like it to be called "babeld.conf.sample", to start with
a comment that says that no babeld.conf file is necessary in normal
usage, and to consist of comments only.  For an example, please see
