rpsltool templates for BIRD route servers

I released a new version of rpsltool[1] which contains an example
configuration file and template for generating the complete
configuration of a BIRD route server.
(There is an OpenBGPd template as well, does anybody want to contribute
one for quagga?)

It has been used in production at MINAP[2] for more than one month,
and at least by another IX as well.

rpsltool is a program which can be used to generate the complete BGP
configuration of a router using a template, a configuration file
containing the list of peers (in YAML, a simple and human-readable
serialization format) and IRR data.
It is usually used to generate the BGP configuration and filters of IX
peerings sessions, but it can used for customer sessions or a route
server as well.
Just like irrtoolset, except that it is made of 1500 lines of perl
instead of tens of thousands of C++.
