Nope, that's a job for my IP_SENDIF change (as yet unimplemented).
This change, however, may make things somewhat easier for interfaces
configured with the same broadcast address; IP_ONESBCAST currently
relies on the fact that an interface is numbered and has a network
broadcast address to do what it does, but I can see that changing
or perhaps even becoming obsolete if IP_SENDIF is implemented.
It's a trivial change to implement SO_BINDTODEVICE on top for Linux
compatibility.
