As a side note: the new IPv6 "redirect gateway ipv6" stuff also only
uses adapter indexes, so I'm pretty confident that "install route and
ifconfig via adapter index" is a good approach (if only to avoid spaces
and national characters on the command line :-) ) - I was mainly wondering
whether there is any case when the get_adapter_index() could fail on us...

Going to "ifindex only" will actually make the route.c code in master
less complex, as it has to deal with name-or-index today.
