As I've said there, I don't think it should be a command-line option -- it
should live in the configuration file. If people want to put it on the
command-line, they should be using "-C".

What's more, I don't think it makes sense for it to be a global option,
since with multiple interfaces you don't usually want to use the same
address with all interfaces. I can see the following:

- it could be an interface option, in which case it would apply to all
 routes going out through that interface;
- it could be a filter option, in which case it would apply to matching
 routes.

Perhaps the list could chime in?
In any case, I prepared an updated patchset [1] against the unicast branch containing code that removes the -P option again and instead implements the first option above: setting pref-src as a parameter for an interface specification via config file. This increases flexibility as it allows to set multiple src addresses based on interface.
