It's not quite there as it currently stands, but I'd say that quagga
is fairly close to being it. So long as the code isn't too awful (I've
never looked), any such development efforts might be best applied
there. It should not be overly difficult to enhance quagga to handle
more than the basic routing configuration it currently does. It has
all the necessary infrastructure for doing the interesting things,
like responding to changes in the availability of network interfaces.

(Plus, it would be better to have *one* good routing configuration
package, rather than a different package for static and automatic
routing mechanisms)
