Thomas: Something like this?

The current ABI is returning wrong data in some cases; that seems worse
to me than breaking the ABI.

Another option is to introduce a new flag bundled with RTM_GETROUTE
which fixes RTM_GETROUTE altogether and makes it return the actual
route instead of a simulated cache entry.


I like that better; it least then information is not duplicated. Thanks for the suggestion.
