Upstream changes:
3.4.9:
This release mostly fixes a very embarrassing issue introduced with
3.4.8 with non IPv4 unicast route decoding, the handlers were badly
registered.
3.4.8:
This is a bug fix release. It fixes an obscure bug when routes
would not reach the backend API as two NLRI could be seen as
identical due to a bad hashing of the attributes.

script. Add dependency on python setuptools.
The helper scripts of exabgp are now in share/exabgp/, to make
pkglint happy.

Let me know if you have any this time.

network easily. Think of it as Software Defined Networking for people with
"commodity" routers.
ExaBGP transform BGP (rfc4271) messages into friendly plain text or JSON
which can be easily manipulate by scripts.
It allows the creation of tools such as:
* advanced looking glass graphically display the routing of prefix
* high availability tool which automatically isolate broken services
* DDOS mitigation
* an anycasted server
