In any case, I prepared an updated patchset [1] against the unicast branch 
containing code that removes the -P option again and instead implements 
the first option above: setting pref-src as a parameter for an interface 
specification via config file. This increases flexibility as it allows 
to set multiple src addresses based on interface.
