Clever. That would certainly help in portability; i will take a closer
look on what you did for libnl and see how well it applies for iproute2.

Stephen, I have some cycles today - I am going to assume no-response
from you implies ok on the change i sent earlier - so i will work on
adding additional changes on top of the one i sent earlier to fixup the
pretty printing (which is not as serious a regression IMO as breakage of
the output).

cheers,
jamal
