This was originally to fix the fact that our code did not handle certain
orders of arguments in conversion, but it was easier to rewrite the
entire argument handling to support more options at the same time.
Now supports all options documented in the ip manpage, including the
IPv6-specific options that must be passed after the interface argument.

This can be used for multi-homed connections and other advanced routing
in Linux. See the documentation links for more information about doing
this in linux.
The code was a originally pure addon into the conf.d/net files, written
in mid-2004 for doing multi-homing between two internet connections. I
have finally cleaned this up and integrated it. Thanks to Jonathan Kwan
for giving me the original impetus to develop this for Gentoo (it was
his dual internet connections...).
In the intervening years, it was a example of postup/postdown in the
net.example file, however that suffered from a few corner case issues.
If you were using the code from net.example, please see the updated
section 'Advanced Routing' on syntax, and drop your old function blocks.
Additionally, note that the rules added are now directly saved for
removal when the interface is taken down.
