To summarise: the integration of Babel into Quagga is entirely the work
of Matthieu Boutier, who happens to be my grad student.  As a grad
student himself, Paul Jakma is well aware how important it is for grad
students to receive full credit for their work; notwithstanding that, he
committed Matthieu's work under his own name.

Git has powerful history-rewriting facilities, so I have most respect-
fully asked Paul to fix that mistake.  The previous lengthy mail is
Paul's explanation why he intends to do nothing.

The integration of Babel into Quagga is entirely the work of Matthieu
Boutier, who deserves full credit for that highly technical piece of
work.  Matthieu's work was carefully reviewed by Denis Ovsienko and
committed into Quagga-RE under Matthieu's name.  For some reason, the
patch authorship was changed when the patch migrated from Quagga-RE into
Quagga mainline; this should not be taken to imply that the work was
done by anyone else than Matthieu Boutier.
