This is the first release of ospfquery. A tool that allows determining
ospf neighbor and state relationships by scanning the OSPF mib. It will
only work on routers that support the ospf mib. The GateD program
from Cornell University does implement the ospf mib and provides a
very solid ospf implementation based on Rob Coltun's OSPF code.

As an added bonus, ospfquery will allow displaying the ipRouteTable
and ipForwardingTable. This is useful if you want to determine which
protocol installed which route.

There are still many, many things to be added to ospfquery. It doesn't
indicate ABR or ASBR status as well as detailed information in each
link state advertisement. However, it is still pretty useful as is.

Current additions include an X window interface with visual display
of routers and the network. 

Future additions will include configuration checking, ISODE support,
and Dijkstra conformance tests.
