Not sure if anyone uses the routel script. The script was
a combination of ip route, shell and awk doing command scraping.
It is now possible to do this much better using the JSON
output formats and python.
Rewriting also fixes the bug where the old script could not parse
the current output format. At the end was getting:
/usr/bin/routel: 48: shift: can't shift that many
The new script also has IPv6 as option.

This script is old and limited to IPv4.
Using ip route command directly is better option.

The filesytem paths to these scripts might be different on various
distros, so don't mention it in the manpages. It is not really useful
information anyway.
