I imagine the ipv4/interface change issue still exists?

Before juliusz's review I'd already slammed denis's patchset into
ceropackages, and I'd planned to test it this past weekend.
(unfortunately my weekend got eaten by other problems)

It sounds like a portion of that patchset will be reverted and I'll
have to respin.

but:

if people out there want to try what looks to be an excellent, huge, advance
on the state of the art of secure mesh routing,
the current code can be built for openwrt by pulling in quagga from
the ceropackages repo on github.

I'll respin the patch set in ceropackages as soon as denis is done,
and regroup to be able to test sometime late this week or weekend.
