I prefer keep ldwrapper somewhere in xorp since it is the necessary part for
the wrapper protocol.

The ldwrapper is initially developed by my colleagues and we are not family
with 'scons'. I am unable to port it to 'scons' for now. The good thing is
it is a standalone package.

I started looking at this, and so far, it seems reasonable enough.

Before I apply it, however...please confirm that you have the right to
publish this code as GPL by responding to your original email with:

Signed-off-by:  [name] <email>

If you have any questions about what this means, let me know.


As for the code itself..do you want me to add all of this to the xorp
repository or are you maintaining the ldwrapper code elsewhere?

It appears that ldwrapper is meant to be compiled by itself using standard
compile tools instead of 'scons'?

Thanks,
Ben
