For 0.5:
* Handle route process death				H	AG/MH/PR
  - see the error-handling document (e.g., exit if the FEA is gone)
  - Example: if BGP goes away, then the RIB should pull-out all
    routing state that comes from BGP
    Also, if the FEA goes away, then RIB should go away too.
  - PR look into it, and if too compicated, then move it to 0.x
* Change the RIB to use the RefTrie			L	AG

For 0.x:
* Support recursive BGP Lookups				L	MH
* Add XRL interface to dump routing table state		M	MH
  (for monitoring/informational purpose: xorpsh, etc).
* Add support for discard interface			H	PR
  (pkts routed on that interface are discarded).
* Equal-cost multipath					M	MH
  - add info when a set of routes should be together; propagate
    that info down to the FEA
* Add route tag support to routing->RIB interface 	M	MH
  to support policy filtering
  - ask Mark re. this (PR)
