Transition from BIRD 1 to 2

[Maria Matejka]

Hello!

I'd recommend doing some templating, and even reconsider whether the 
pipe and auxiliary table is really needed. With BIRD 2 and import table 
/ export table BGP setting, the pipes are just unnecessary burden in 
most cases.

More on this in Rome (Nov 27, RIPE 87).
