5056c559c4 Changed syntax of attaching filters to protocols to hopefully the final
version:

	EXPORT <filter-spec>	for outbound routes (i.e., those announced
				by BIRD to the rest of the world).
	IMPORT <filter-spec>	for inbound routes (i.e., those imported
				by BIRD from the rest of the world).

where <filter-spec> is one of:

	ALL			pass all routes
	NONE			drop all routes
	FILTER <name>		use named filter
	FILTER { <filter> }	use explicitly defined filter

For all protocols, the default is IMPORT ALL, EXPORT NONE. This includes
the kernel protocol, so that you need to add EXPORT ALL to get the previous
configuration of kernel syncer (as usually, see doc/bird.conf.example for
a bird.conf example :)).

7f400d1c62 After today's lengthy discussions about filter syntax, let's clean up
whitespace/semicolon rules for whole config file:

   o  All non-zero amounts of whitespace are equivalent to single space
      (aka `all the whitespace has been born equal' ;-)).
   o  Comments count as whitespace.
   o  Whitespace has no syntactic signifance (it can only separate lexical
      elements).
   o  Consequence: line ends are no longer treated as `;'s.
   o  Every declaration must be terminated by an explicit `;' unless
      or by a group enclosed in `{' and `}'.

7e5f5ffdda Moved to a much more systematic way of configuring kernel protocols.
o  Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify
     the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started.
  o  Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and
     interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated
     by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that
     it will be possible to feed different device routes to different
     routing tables once multiple tables get supported).

See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.

529c414953 Allow input and output filters (only accept/reject style as we didn't define
modifying filters yet) to be attached to protocol instances.

2d14045224 Rewrote the kernel syncer. The old layering was horrible.
The new kernel syncer is cleanly split between generic UNIX module
and OS dependent submodules:

  -  krt.c (the generic part)
  -  krt-iface (low-level functions for interface handling)
  -  krt-scan (low-level functions for routing table scanning)
  -  krt-set (low-level functions for setting of kernel routes)

krt-set and krt-iface are common for all BSD-like Unices, krt-scan is heavily
system dependent (most Unices require /dev/kmem parsing, Linux uses /proc),
Netlink substitues all three modules.

We expect each UNIX port supports kernel routing table scanning, kernel
interface table scanning, kernel route manipulation and possibly also
asynchronous event notifications (new route, interface state change;
not implemented yet) and build the KRT protocol on the top of these
primitive operations.

3169cf6991 Added bird.conf to .cvsignore and created an example configuration file.
If you want to run bird now, just copy doc/bird.conf.example as bird.conf
and edit it to suit your needs.
