Config for BGP sounds quite acceptable, but I still don't get how would 
one configure the ip tunnel for this kind of setup.

Would that be something in the lines of:

ip tunnel add tun6to4 mode sit ttl 80 remote any local 192.88.99.1
ip link set dev tun6to4 up
ip -6 addr add 2002:????:????:1/16 dev tun6to4

(from a Linux-admin view, in this case).

And, after that tunnel is up, does the 6to4 gateway start to throw 
proto-41 packets into the internet for each 2002::/16 it is requested to 
access?
