routed has its own radix.h anyway.  This has rotted in a different
way than the kernel one (not all that much).  At least it has advanced
to the early 1980's -- it casts to void * and size_t instead of to
caddr_t and unsigned, and uses the memcpy family instead of the bcopy
family.  It still doesn't understand "const".  routed/radix.c #defines
yet another bogus version of Bcmp().
