A very ingenious tactic to handle the Windows ICS disaster is simply to
set the preference of the proper announcements higher than normal.  This
allegedly makes at least Windows prefer the higher preference
announcements over others, especially the ICS because they go out as
normal.  (Hint for MS; why not announce ICS RAs with lowest possible
preference?)

I have a patched quagga/zebra lying around somewhere, maybe i could make a
patch out of it some day...
