Well, I can tell you this: the source code last time I was able to check it
(which was about a week, week and a half ago) compiles cleanly under
2.2.8-4.x (where else did ye think those mentions on the site came from? ;)
and also works as far as I have been able to test it. (People with better
test environments than mine are MORE THAN WELCOME to test the routing code!)

Thankfully I got Andreas Klemm on the list as well to test the source and
we have been very active in reporting back bugs and submitting patches and
Kunihiro-san has been very flexible with releasing snapshots for the ports
as well as maintaining a ports directory within the total package for ease
of use within FreeBSD.

So for a Linux dude he has a very strong sympathy for FreeBSD =)
