RIP authentication problem with cisco

Hello,

It seems that the auth type message field is not correctly send.
bird send it in host order but other routers (like cisco) wants it in
network order. So it is necessary to change the file auth.c (in proto/rip/) 
at line 132 :
block->authtype = P_CF->authtype;
become :
block->authtype = htons(P_CF->authtype);
This was tested with 1.0.4 but the rip related files have not changed in
1.0.5.

BR,
