Well, my VPNs have far less routes ("tens" instead of "thousands"), and
exec()'ing was much easier to implement.
I do agree with Heiko and David, though, that we should have netlink - if
this is a reasonably stable API and useful documentation exists, because
otherwise maintaining this code gets painful and error prone.
(For compatibility reasons with the old linux versions we still support,
we might need to keep the existing ifconfig/iproute2 methods)
Patches welcome :-)
