I started looking into this code today, and it appears quite difficult
to properly clean up the various routing table structures that hold
references to Vifs.

What do you think about removing the _vif pointer from RouteEntry
and just using vifname and/or ifname strings?  If we ever really need
an vif object, can look it up then in the rib's global list?

Another option would be to use a reference counting scheme, but
those usually suck to code & debug, especially when templates
are involved...

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ben
