- improved the -a option. it can probe a interface automatically when
the interface wake up. it can be started anytime even when there is no network interface on the list of intarfaces in the kernel. - get a correct link ID for each interface at initialization (using scope libraries if HAVE_SCOPELIB is defined). - fill in sin6_scope_id correctly before sendmsg(). Obtained from: KAME MFC after: 1 week
