Bruce, sorry to require so much handholding.  The quagga people
almost haven't heard of FreeBSD and I'm not very familiar with
multicast.  I've already got it working with a private hack, but
I'm not sure that I've done it right.

Quagga no longer uses the mreq hack to pass the ifindex due to the
presence of the imr_ifindex member to the struct ip_mreqn.

Am I correct in my reading of the in_mcast.c that IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP
will ignore a value in imr_ifindex and use the address in imr_address
And that it is no longer possible to add a multicast membership using
the ifindex?
