This departs from the previous mantra "All command-line options are also
available as a configuration statement".

This is an issue for OpenWRT, because we simply translate OpenWRT-style
options into their equivalent babeld-style config options (basically,
"s/_/-/g").  That being said, it should be fairly easy to add a special
case for this new option in the OpenWRT init script.
