[PATCH] feature to keep protocol's state while configuring

[Alexander Zubkov]

The easiest patch would be to implement this behaviour for soft

something for somebody. I'm also working on implementing it as
additional option.

I use bird with protocols set to disabled to keep them from coming up at the same time as the daemon, and have actually resorted to a wrapper that changes the configuration file in-place to "disabled no" before doing soft reconfiguration, and then back to "yes".
