BGP Listen Port

Hello,

 From BIRD 2.0.0 I can see that the "listen bgp" command has been 
replaced with "strict bind". However this means that BIRD can no longer 
listen on a specific port.

This is something I am using with 1.6.3 to operate separate BGP 
instances. For example on a server with a main instance I can test on a 
different port or on a switch where I don't want to replace the vendor's 
instance.

Is this something that will return? Or have I missed something painfully 
obvious?

Regards,
Joshua
