I had a little time so I went ahead with the first steps and imported and 
tagged Quagga 0.99.4.  Changes haven't been merged to the 
extern-src/quagga yet.. which maybe should be done on a branch and not 
trunk?  If I get time I'll take a look at merging and making the zrib 
changes (though if someone wants to jump in, go for it).
