That solves the OLSR -> BGP/OSPF that gets me a long way thanks for the hint.  
Now I need a way for OLSR to redistribute the 'kernel'/'quagga' learned routes
as HNA's...  Of course carefull network design should be done to avoid the 
mutual redistribution "shoot yourself in the foot" architecture ;-).

I have done this, but only with a static announcement into BGP this was on 
Cisco's with a static route to the host running OLSR (i.e. using the OLSR WAN 
as a transit for connecting eBGP peers). Combining quagga and OLSR on the same 
host would allow a dynamic redistribution of the OLSR learned routes. Excellent.

Merci/bedankt
