Jeff,

You don't have to implement XrlTarget in your module if you don't
need it. Obviously, that module will be able only to send XRLs and
receive the results, but it won't be able to receive XRLs on its
own.

In that case, you would have to call "xrl_std_router.finalize();"
after the XrlStdRouter constructor. E.g., see the source code for,
say, xorp/fea/tools/show_interfaces.cc which sends XRLs, but is not
an XrlTarget.
