write a new service rather than bloating the existing code or just use netlink or libnl

I find netlink code a pain to deal with, so I'd like to leverage
existing and ongoing support in iproute.

Would you at least consider the changes in 1) and 2)
so that the new project can continue to use iproute as upstream
w/out significant merge issues?  Those changes shouldn't
significantly add to the code, I believe.

Thanks,
