Batman does not provide any plugin interface as well. Simply because it is a 
routing daemon and should only do that. On the other hand we don't like this 
rewriting of plugins over and over again.
As already explained in the other part of this thread batman offers an 
external interface for adding/deleting routing information which could be 
used for that. A little external application can talk to zebra, add/delete 
routes and/or HNA and could be _reused_ by other routing applications.
