NOTE:  This is a resend...first one didn't make it through the list because
the attachment was too big.  You can now find the patch at:

http://www.candelatech.com/~greearb/misc/patches/xorp_bgp_harness_backport.patch


'scons check' passes as good as it does in xorp.ct, so I'm pushing this.  If there
are any suggestions for improvement I'll be happy to consider them.

This patch:

*  Makes bgp compile with shared libraries.
*  Fixes up some utils and libxipc stuff to compile for the bgp harness.
*  Fixes bgp harness logic to work with new path layout.
*  Runs xorp bgp harness logic when 'scons check' is requested.
*  Fixes some BGP asserts I found in xorp.ct testing.

Thanks,
Ben
