 Well, as things go on, I'll have more questions. I've put the little
monster up for grabbing at:

http://wwwstud.informatik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~s_uriart/zldpd.tgz

 Take a look at it, if you want to. I guess it could be made to run
with direct mpls-linux access, but everything else running over
zebra.


 I haven't quite tested it. It compiles, and runs a bit without
crashing. If you don't start zebra before starting it, it will
crash (on an assert). No need to run zebra as root, btw, just
start it, so zldpd will know about interfaces (and later routes).

 Fine! As it goes on, I'll ask you precise questions. At the
moment I just wanted to get the ball rolling and take a look
at the mpls/ldp thingie. Your code looks really professional.
