Basic support for IPv6. The system-dependent part doesn't work yet,

but the core routines are there and seem to be working.

   o  lib/ipv6.[ch] written
   o  Lexical analyser recognizes IPv6 addresses and when in IPv6
      mode, treats pure IPv4 addresses as router IDs.
   o  Router ID must be configured manually on IPv6 systems.
   o  Added SCOPE_ORGANIZATION for org-scoped IPv6 multicasts.
   o  Fixed few places where ipa_(hton|ntoh) was called as a function
      returning converted address.

Various ideas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- real multipath (doesn't seem to be simple at all :()
- fake multipath (even less simple)
- route recalculation timing and flap dampening [see RFC2439 for algorithms]
- aggregate engine: standard route aggregation and summarization
- aggregate engine: standard route aggregation and summarization [RFC2519]
- aggregate engine: injection of manually configured pseudo-static routes
- generate default route if any working BGP connection exists (aggregate engine again?)
- generate default route to IGP's (aggregate engine yet another time?)
- look at RFC 2386 (QoS-based routing)
RIP
