[Olsr-dev] libnetlink, linux and olsr

[Kees-Jan Hermans]

Ok. Here's the diff. I must verify a few things with you:

- The way to 'transport' a configuration value to the module is now via
global variables and 'extern' definitions in the yacc file. Which is
IMHO, a kludge - ugly C. I couldn't find an example of how to do this
properly in other lq plugins though.

- I have assumed that the $(OS) definitions as used in the Makefile
aren't somehow mutually inclusive. That is, 'android' doesn't also
trigger 'linux'.

- I made adjustments to Makefile.inc in what I don't know are the right
place.

- The configuration names as in the lex file are the result of my
imagination. I camelcased what I thought would be proper. Feel free to
adjust.

- There is still no way to separate out the older libnl libraries (which
have completely different names). So keep expectations low - I expect
errors.
