ldp-portable is pretty stable, it's use in quagga-mpls is not stable.
The problem is, you can't use just ldp-portable, it needs some sort
of environment to run it (I call it a porting layer).

If you are interested in trying the latest quagga-mpls use p4 and
get it from my development tree (see http://mpls-linux.sf.net for more
info).  You will want to use this 'view':

	//depot/ldp-portable/... //<your client name>/ldp-portable/...
	//depot/quagga-mpls/... //<your client name>/quagga-mpls/...

In the quagga-mpls dir there is a script to build an RPM.  Before you
compile you will have to edit and then run the script
quagga-mpls/ldpd/create-links
