OML support

[kohoumas]

OML is a library ( http://oml.mytestbed.net/projects/oml/wiki/ ) which could be used for measurements gathering, adopted by many EU FIRE / US GENI projects and supported by NICTA, Australia. I have used many times Click together with OML, and I really think that it is a useful complementary tool.

Looks pretty good! Now I don't know much about OML. Does --oml actually override the tcpdump-style elements (provide the libpcap interface), or are other elements required?

I do have one request. GNU standards would sort of request that this be enabled by --with-oml, not --enable-oml. Can you make that change?

Probably wants to be AC_ARG_WITH (see later for examples)

I think this is done

The OML library is used to send measurements (throughput, CPU utilization,
etc) to a specific OML server.
The experimenter defines the measurements in its own elements, and then
these elements are able to send measurements to the server, which stores
them in a database.
I think that is sth completely different from the tcpdump-style elements,
that store the packet details in the tcpdump format.

Regarding the change to --with-oml, this is done!
