Hmm.  The first line is very confusing, and even wrong.

I got around, and cleaned up interface.c sanity checks and printing a 
lot.  With the current CVS code, the error message will be something 
like:

[Mar 29 18:17:36] radvd: MinRtrAdvInterval for eth0 (1.00) must be at least 3.00 but no more than 3/4 of MaxRtrAdvInterval (2.25)
[Mar 29 18:17:36] radvd: MaxRtrAdvInterval for eth0 (3.00) must be between 4.00 and 1800

This should be much more informative; I also did similar for the rest 
of the error messages.

In the process I noticed that AdvDefaultLifetime does not work 
properly (and never has, AFAICS) unless the user explicitly specified 
MaxRtrAdvInterval.  I tried to debug this, but it's probably hidden 
pretty deep in the interface initialization magic and various 
cross-dependencies by macros in defaults.h.  If someone else wants to 
do some investigation on this, feel free :)

I also merged a lot of MIPv6/non-MIPv6 checks so if someone using 
MIPv6 extensions could check out that the CVS code still works 
properly, it would be great.
