New Syntax Checker for the Routing Registries

	Hi folks, the ALC daemon now accepts updates of the DB  on the fly.
As a side effect it can check the syntax of the objects (without registering
them) peolpe submit.
	Is anybody interested in hacking dbupdate so it uses alcd to
check the syntax instead of the syntax.pl stuff (C.f "This is the really ugly
bit")? The yacc parser ALC uses is a lot more rebust than the perl code (IMHO).
The protocol to talk to alcd is very simple, we just need to send the
object description (<attribute>: <value> format) and look for error
messages from alcd.

PS: maybe i should have sent my mail to /dev/null directly? :)
