Hello, world!\n
I was wondering whether an "include" general option could be implemented as
to segment large BIRD configuration files to smaller parts, a lá BIND. This
should be trivial to implement I suppose, and could really help with
scripting and clarity.
Actually I wrote about this several months ago:

Patch to 1.3.1: http://static.ipfw.ru/patches/bird_includes_20110513.diff
At the dawn of time, when we started thinking about BIRD configuration,
we got the idea that if a config file were executable, it would be run
and its output parsed -- this way, you could start e.g. with #!/usr/bin/m4
and have includes and macro processing.
Maybe it's too crazy, but still...
Have a nice fortnight
