      Log:
        Due to the routing related networking kernel redesign work
        in FBSD 8.0, interface routes have been returened to the
        applications without the RTF_GATEWAY bit. This incompatibility
        has caused some issues with Zebra, Qugga and the like.
        This patch provides the RTF_GATEWAY flag bit in returned interface
        routes so to behave similarly to pre 8.0 systems.

        Interesting. I'm not sure I've seen that issue, but I wonder if that might help solve some of the quirks people have with quagga here and there.
