Although it has been possible to create bonding devices, enslave and
release using the regular link API. The added API simplifies usage
and hides some of the compatibility logic.
F.e. enslave() and release() will both verify that the master assignment
has in fact been changed and return -NLE_OPNOTSUPP if it did not.
Also the API will make sure to use RTM_NEWLINK or RTM_SETLINK depending
on what is availble.
Examples are provided in src/ as nl-link-enslave.c and nl-link-release.c
This will fix finding libs while link, by adding them to LDFLAGS
[It's no ideal but it's less of a mess than what we have now. -tgraf]

This patch includes various bugfixes in the packet location parser.
Namely it removes two memory leaks if parsing fails. The parser is
correctly quit if an allocation error occurs and it is no longer
possible to add duplicates.
It removes the possibility to differ between net and host byteorder.
This is better done in the actual classifiers as it makes more sense
to specify this together with the value to compare against.
The patch also extends the API to add new packet locations via
rtnl_pktloc_add().
It introduces reference counting, therefore you now have to give
back packet locations with rtnl_pktloc_put() after looking them up
with rtnl_pktloc_lookup(). But you are allowed to keep using them
if the packet location file has been reread.
The packet location file now also understands "eth", "ip", and
"tcp" for "link", "net", and "transport".
A --list option has been added to nl-pktloc-lookup to list all
packet location definitions
A --u32=VALUE option has been added to let nl-pktloc-lookup print
the definition in iproute2's u32 selector style.
A manual page has been written for nl-pktloc-lookup.
Finally, nl-pktloc-lookup has been made installable.
Adds a cli based tool to add/update traffic classes. This tool requires
each class to be supported via the respetive qdisc module in
pkglibdir/cli/qdisc/$name.so.
Syntax:
nl-class-add --dev eth2 --parent 1: --id 1:1 htb --rate 100mbit
nl-class-add --update --dev eth2 --id 1:1 htb --rate 200mbit
A database to resolve qdisc/class names to classid values and vice versa.
The function rtnl_tc_handle2str() and rtnl_tc_str2handle() will resolve
names automatically.
A CLI based tool nl-classid-lookup is provided to integrate the database
into existing iproute2 scripts.
Adds a cli based tool to add/update/replace qdiscs. This tool requires
each qdisc to be supported via a dynamic loadable module in
pkglibdir/cli/qdisc/$name.so.
So far HTB and blackhole have been implemented.
Syntax:
nl-qdisc-add --dev eth2 --parent root --id 1: htb --r2q=5
nl-qdisc-add --update-only --dev eth2 --id 1: htb --r2q=10
This patch enables out-of-source builds like this
$ cd builddir && src_dir/configure && make
Before this patch there was an error about missing netlink/version.h which
is built by automake in top_builddir rather than top_srcdir which is already
in include search path.

When an alternate kernel header include directory is added in
CPPFLAGS, the libnl build fails. This is because the local copy of
kernel headers is added in AM_CFLAGS, which gets included after
CPPFLAGS in the automake-generated makefile. Switching to AM_CPPFLAGS
fixes the problems.
libnl-route must be handled before libnl-nf in lib_LTLIBRARIES since
the later depends on the former. Additionally nf-monitor, nl-list-caches,
nl-list-sockets and nl-util-addr have been dropped from the Makefile.

Issues solved:
* PACKAGE_VERSION was abused for SOVERSION
* unneeded DEP stage
* did not support out-of-tree builds
* no way to turn off silent mode
* overriding CFLAGS at make time was not supported
* no static libs were provided
