Here is my set of recent changes to put some more knobs on this, I
copied what I did for ifconfig'ing interfaces to handle all of the
``route add'' commands.
I also cleaned up the ifconfig for the loopback device, now under
sysconfig control :-). Infact all of /etc/netstart should now be
under sysconfig control!
Could you please intergrate this into your /etc/ files, test it, and
then send me back comments. An ASAP reply would mean this goes into
the tree as soon as I read the reply.
