I am afraid it would be very complicated to write things like:
---
function bgp_out(int peeras)
{
if ! (source = RTS_BGP ) then return false;
if (0,peeras) ~ bgp_community then return false;
if (myas,peeras) ~ bgp_community then return true;
if (0, myas) ~ bgp_community then return false;
return true;
}

People usually generate config file and than load it to BIRD. BIRD has
quite smart reconfiguration so it is able to see the differences.
