eric, if its not too late, what do you think about renaming RTA_VIA 
attribute to
RTA_NEWGATEWAY (similar to your new RTA_NEWDST attribute to specify a 
label dst) ?. RTA_VIA is fine too.
This is indeed a new way to specify a gateway (and can/will be used by 
RFC 5549 in the future).

If there is interest in renaming it to RTA_NEWGATEWAY (or any other 
name, cant think of anything better right now),
I will be happy to submit a follow-on patch.

Thanks!.
