[olsr-dev] Plugin messages

[Andreas Tønnesen]

Hi,

Yes that would work for <=0.4.7. However, maxmessagesize and outputsize
are not used from 0.4.8 as every interface now has its own net buffer,
and all manipulation is done via the functions defined in net.h.

Sorry for the confusion this might cause - but the new solution is much
better than the old one :)
