| - http://gredler.at/download/olsrd/lsdb-refactoring-2.diff.gz by Hannes
| Gredler.
|   Again changes to the routing core to reduce to avoid maintaining
| duplicated
|   information. This saves (again) especially lots of malloc()s and free()s.
| 
| - Update of the dyn_gw plugin the interface version 5.
|   Please test and report success or failure whoever actually uses this!
| 
| - http://download-master.berlin.freifunk.net/sven-ola/nylon/packages/olsrd/files/104-olsrd-policy-routing.patch
|   by Sven-Ola T??cke (which was since months in FreiFunkFirmware). The only
|   (trivial) modification were by me to use "#if" instead of "#ifdef".[0]
| 
|   On Linux, OLSRD now uses netlink sockets for route manipulation
| (unless you
|   change something in src/olsr_cfg.h to reactivate the old behaviour)
| and we
|   can put the OLSRD managed routes into a separate routing table. This
| has
|   the advantage/feature that
|   - "ip route flush table $NR" removes all left-over routes (if you
| happen
|      to produce a crash during development) and
|   - one can use policy routing with "ip rule add from $OLSR_NETWORK
| table $NR"
|     (as I do at home) to route packets from the "OLSR-net" completely
| separate
|     to the other (NATted and not NATted) networks/default routes/....
| 
| More text on these can be found in the CHANGELOG (which was also fixed).
| 
| Known issues with CVS-HEAD:
| - Compiling on 64bit gives a warning.
| - The (infamous?) LQ-calculation with "winsize % 4 != 0".
| - The Quagga plugin is the last with the old interface.
