Thanks stephen.

Maybe too late, but wanted to add a note.
I would have loved to have the default output print vlan ranges if the 
iproute2 version is capable and is talking to the kernel which has vlan 
range support. The netlink msg handling takes care of back ward 
compatibility.

I think, I was being too cautious to not break users who might be doing 
screen scraping.
In general should i be too worried about breaking such users ?.
If not, I would love to resubmit the patch to make the default output 
print ranges.
