Valgrind results with FreeBSD have been inconclusive. Valgrind results 
with Linux 2.6 turned up surprisingly few positives -- the STL 
implementation shipping with gcc 4.1 and above seems to produce smaller 
and possibly less leaky code.

Currently there are no major leaks in the OLSR code as profiled on 
Linux;  however there have been a few hits in libxorp and libxipc.

I'll post more detailed results if I get a chance to sit down and do 
more profiling.

I resolved this by using a wrapper script from the template file 
(%modinfo path).
