At the moment I'm not sure OLSRd stores this value. The whole SPF calculation 
is done in olsr_spf.c.

If you look at the function olsr_spf_relax(), you will find the code that 
overwrite a "shortest path to a node" decission. At this point you might set 
up an additional pointer from the tc_node to the tc_edge_node which points to 
the next step back towards the root node of the tree. You just have to make 
sure to erase that pointer when you remove an edge (see tc_set.c).

To check if an edge is "used" for the SPF-tree, just check if it's used by one 
of it's two tc_nodes as a way towards the root.
