Hello,

When making a looking glass for bird I met a lack of summary-like command for bgp.

Attached patch adds 'show bgp summary' command to CLI of birdc. It produces output that looks like Juniper/Cisco-style output. Example:

BIRD 1.2.4 ready. bird> show bgp summary Peer                    AS Last state change   Prefixes rcvd/best   State/Last error 193.25.x.x           13249 21:11               0/0                  Passive 193.25.x.x           20850 21:11               0/0                  Passive 193.25.x.x           21011 21:11               0/0                  Passive 193.25.x.x           25372 21:12               3/3                  Established 193.25.x.x           28097 21:11               0/0                  Passive 193.25.x.x           35320 21:11               0/0                  Passive 193.25.x.x           42546 21:11               1/1                  Passive       Socket: Connection closed

My integration of command in nest/config.Y is quite dumb but it works. If such command is essential for the users then a bird team may integrate it in more accurate and right way.

Patch is applied to version 1.2.4. It has been tested on FreeBSD 7.2.

Good work.
