can you please define *all* routes -
it is my understanding that olsrd already does a full SPF run
including post-processing results and inserting routes into the
kernel if there is a mismatch.

thats probably a bit too far out - a first step would be to
periodically resync kernel routing table next-hops and the olsrd RIB.
just query for proto 111 routes or routes that we have in our RIB
aka OLSR_FOR_ALL_RT_ENTRIES()

|    any comments?

|    is it ok to push it to tip (together with my plugin, which relies (only
|    for meaningful syslog/debugoutput) on the new return values of
|    olsrd_add_route())

please hold off doing that - i can create a privae branch where you can work
on and commit/push your stuff to.
