Andrew: BGP->Route object translator

All FYI:

  Andrew has come up with a clever way around the IRR intent:  simply
machine-generate his route objects from the live BGP tables and submit
them daily.

  Advantages:  everything is registered, just like we want it.

  Disadvantages:  even things we'd have hoped a human would filter out
(net 10) get registered.  (Also, a certain amount of thrash in the DB).

  Comments?
