XORP doesn't currently do this.
I believe quagga does a setsockopt() of IP_TOS to IP_TOS_PREC_INTERNETCONTROL.

To do it unconditionally is a small change, but this wouldn't be the
correct behaviour -- the TOS bits should only be changed, in my opinion,
with an explicit XRL call.

I'd be more than happy to see patches for this.
