Andrew: BGP->Route object translator

Curtis pointed out that they'd want to do some checking so that
only routes with aspaths they should register for were registered
and that diffing daily pulls would be fairly simple and save you
folks a lot of work.  Route 10 could get registered?  What do we 
have now that checks registrations?  Could it be altered to also 
look for Martians?
