yes it is, i looked at ip4srcip which is used as src ip for olsrd messages,
..

(and once there was an idea to use this as optional source for the
unicast_src_ip sa well, but usually nobody needs interface specific
unicast_src_ips)

true this config var is not really needed (as it will probably have always
same content as main_addr), but as i don`t have the time to think over it at
the moment, ...

i made a trivial patch, that should set the unicast_src_ip when an main-ip
is used,.. (and ipv4 is used)
