Go for it!

A couple additional suggestions.  It would be great to get a useful API
to for 'tc' that is one step above actual low level netlink stuff.

And it would be great to reuse some existing scripting language grammar
and parsing library infrastructure.


Don't feel constrained to C on this. If using C++ or even something like
phython or ruby would be better go ahead; but please no Perl.
