I will talk with the guys in Berlin about the problem, maybe they can set up a 
proper project with a little bit english description.

NIIT is a device that use IPIP tunnels you don't need to configure. Every IPv4 
packet you send into the NIIT4to6 device is encapsulated into an IPv6 packet. 
Source and destination address are CALCULATED from the IPv4 src/dst, so NIIT 
is an easy way to set up 4over6 tunnels between the mesh nodes.

Should not be that difficult to build something similar for GRE tunnels.
