[PATCH] Add the ability for a sysconfig file to determine extra parameters for bird

[Alex Bligh]

On Ubuntu / Debian, you can use /etc/default/bird{,6} to specify
parameters to be passed to the bird daemon. As far as I can tell,
using the rpm spec file in the current srpm, you can't.

I do NOT claim to be a Redhat expert, but a patch like this would
seem to provide equivalent functionality. I am taking it
/etc/sysconfig is the right place.
