From 37b2be93e63ceff95698f24cd91cb11774eb621c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: * Revert previous patch to check nlmsg_pid as it is bogus and breaks 
  in many cases, notably when using NetworkManager * Replace with new
 SO_PASSCRED-based check of the sending UID, which   seems to work better *
 Apply for for 2.6.19+ where IFA_RTA / IFLA_RTA is no longer defined * Mild
 fix to some doxygen docs for avahi-common/address.h
