We tried to do this for 0.6.0, but had some strange problems with it. Because 
it wasn't that important we did not put too much time into it. You will find 
my experimental patch at
http://olsr.org/git/?p=olsrd.git;a=commit;h=12c049986c39d9536f38bfed4b22ed2da63edc91
and Sven-Olas try to get the bug out of it at
http://olsr.org/git/?p=olsrd.git;a=commit;h=2b057d87a97e5c5f4045428628d59e709099efa0

we reverted the whole thing because one commit later. If you would like to fix 
this patches, we can reintegrate them or push them to the master branch.
