Due to the introduction of plugins for the livekeeping ipvsmand was broken.

The new release 0.9.1-6 fixes ipvsmand.

* Feature: AutoRefresh avaible by '-a' commandline switch
* Feature: Explizit Daemon restart on pressing 'r'.
* Feature: ipvsmand takes a realserver now under all circumstances out of the LB
if is has been suspended previously does not matter.

ipvsman now reads the configuration file
keepalived.conf instead of its own service.cfg if started with the -k commandline parameter.

This feature enables ipvsman to run as a GUI to the keepalived livekeeping daemon.

After some struggle and a complete rewriting of the code. ipvsman is now ready for deployment.
