      Two links in section 16.6.2.5.2 Running gated are outdated.
      AFAIK Merit GateD Consortium has been swallowed by NextHop
      Technologies. According to their FAQ
      
      http://www.nexthop.com/products/gated_faq.shtml

      they don't provide the sourcecode and documentation for gated 
      any longer. Port is marked as broken.

How sad.

I changed the chapter a bit, taking out the solutions involving GATED,
removed the links to the download locations, and added a note.

Please review (somebody of -doc). I gzip'ed and uploaded it to avoid it
turning into a whitespace and letter-soup.
