 Hello OMs,

 Another addition and a new version.

 Added support for setting a specific route metric for the created routes
 using the -m option (regular routes until now had metric 0).
 This allows routes from other sources, e.g. BGP or OSPF to take precedence
 over those created by ampr-ripd. When you make another version, consider:

- a -w option to set the window (now fixed at 840), setting 0 means no window setting.

- in the section to become a daemon, make use of the daemon() function.  e.g.:

         if (FALSE == debug)
         {
                 if (daemon(0,verbose)<0)
                 {
                         PERROR("Can not become a daemon");
                 }
         }

The advantage is that the program detaches from the terminal, which is required when
you want to start it in a /etc/init.d script and do not want to keep init waiting for the
program.
