Hi,

Anyone interested in running conformance tests on my sources, please
use the attached or clone my git repository here:
git://gitorious.org/radvd-hacks/radvd-hacks.git

The reason to call this 2.x rather than 1.x (for anybody who hasn't
been following) is I've removed the timer code and I'm relying on poll
to respond to request.  The timing is handled by the OS when using
poll.  The timers were responsible for a number of race conditions and
segfaults.

There are a number of other changes in my sources as well, but nothing
as significant as the timer rewrite.

Thanks,
Reuben
