I'll see what I can do.  Will probably be a month or two before I get
everything integrated with the new kernel.

Either way, what I'm thinking about is going to package a lot of
external stuff together (so we can actually do traffic generation
& verification across the router cloud, for instance), so it won't
be something that can really be checked into xorp proper.

I might be able to create some scripts to do all the OS
configuration and xorp config scripts though...will keep
that in mind.

Thanks,
Ben
