Dan Smith f4ff11e3e2 Add ip route save/restore
This patch adds save and restore commands to "ip route". Save dumps
the RTNL stream to stdout which can then be passed to restore later.
This may be helpful in some normal situations, and will allow C/R to
migrate the routing information in userspace.  Tweaking of the stream
can be done by userspace helpers to convert between versions and adjust
things like device indexes when restoring routes in a different
environment.

By factoring out some of the common bits of print_route() into
filter_nlmsg(), the "save" command can use the same selection logic
as "list," allowing the caller to save only specific routes as
necessary.

The only change since the RFC is the addition of manpage and doc
material.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. Look at start of Makefile and set correct values for:

KERNEL_INCLUDE should point to correct linux kernel include directory.
Default (/usr/src/linux/include) is right as rule.

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkely
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a file Config which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.
