[olsr-dev] Patch: for (some Qs about exending the dyn_gw plugin)

Thanks for your comments. I now did it this way. Please see the revised 
patch I attached. The scheduled olsr_event_doing_hna function is called 
every 3 seconds and acts according to has_available_gw variable (equals 
the return value of check_gw) and has_inet_gw.
This means there is at most a delay of 3 secs for the update of the hna 
table, which is acceptable imo.

Jens
