	sorry, i wasn't writing clearly :)

	what i meant is, an implementation of an API for netflow gathering
	stats from the kernel. once you have that API, perhaps quagga can take
	advantage of that API, to support netflow accounting by itself, along
	with as path information and all that..

	that was my thought initially, BUT.. actually... you can
	actually do this no problem using mrtd dumps and pick it up with a
	program via bgp device :P no need to create another api it seems :)
