-note that the above patch will *not* solve the problem of parallel unnumbered
links for OSPF. It will only work with single unnumbered links

-Tested successful interaction with a gateD router over an unnumbered PPP link
--Both routers understand each other's LSAs and end up with the correct
routing table contents

I have attached a proposed patch:

-based on 0.99.9

-deals with incoming LSA from an Unnumbered link (RFC2328 S12.4.1)- "For
unnumbered point-to-point links, the Link Data field should be set to the
unnumbered interface's MIB-II [Ref8] ifIndex value."

--it does this by finding the Next-Hop IP using the neighbour's Router ID
instead of using the Link Data field. This is because the Link Data field no
longer can be relied upon to contain a valid IP address (it contains an
ifIndex value instead).

-but doesn't yet send the MIB-II ifIndex value in *outgoing* LSAs

-an interface must be specified as unnumbered via the Zebra VTY console,
issuing the config commands 'interface pppX, unnumbered'. To turn it off,
use 'interface pppX, no unnumbered'.
