It does't "appear" to have routing components.  It has a GREAT many other
things but not that.

Yeah, I could do this.  But then I'm descending into text processing hell
trying to extract the existing data.  If there's an API for it'd the process
would be a lot smoother.

Part of the reason for this is some traffic is "better off" going through a
VPN route while others are not.  Being able to discover what routes are
present and what metrics are being used is important for discovering what
routes should or shouldn't be used.  As in, don't connect over the locally
available WiFi link because it's unencryped and thus not secure; use the
encrypted VPN tunnel instead.

For example, don't connect to my POP3 mailbox that uses plain text
authentication from the starbucks; dial the VPN first and use that instead.
But allow any other insecure traffic to use the faster local route.

Granted, this sort of application layer routing isn't something most
existing tools have the ability to do out of the box.  But a local proxy
might...
