Oh!  This is tremendously cool!  Thanks to everyone who made that
possible.

Nit to pick: calling this "sla_len" is a bit weird.  Especially if
you don't know whether the ISP will assign a /48, /56 or /60, this
sounds a bit awkward to ensure /64 on an interface - or am I misreading
this?

Anyway, finally need to get my act together and setup the ISP-side of
DHCP-PD - so far, our IPv6 customers had manually-configured IPv6 prefixes,
but I *want* DHCP-PD so "off-the-shelf CPEs" will work just automatically,
and this is enough of an incentive to get going :-)

That, and IPv6 for PPP (for PPP-enabled WAN interfaces).

+1, and do *not* turn on "automatic 6to4" - that's known to be harmful,
and "no IPv6" is much more useful today than "IPv6 only via 6to4".

+1 :-)
