I pulled and built and played with your int-new branch which has that
commit in it.

I backed off on using it while I climb roofs. I ran into some issues
(possibly historical related to some
tweaks of things like txcost elsewhere in the net), and I decided it
made more sense to get the core routers to the
same babeld on one set of compilers and a common set of OSes before
testing interop further.

3 replaced, 3 to go, a half dozen machines in the lab.
