Babymdd Uses Incorrect RS Destination Address

Kame-Shisa implementers,

we found that Babymdd (release 20050822) sends Router Solicitation 
messages to the all-nodes multicast address (ff02::1).  It should send 
the solicitations to the all-routers multicast address (ff02::2), 
however [1].

You can correct this in shisad/babymdd.c, send_rs().

(Babymdd is used in the Kame-Shisa Mobile IPv6 implementation to detect 
changes in IP connectivity.)

Regards,
- Christian
