i started to work on this so that ip address is stored as string in gw
table.

this part i don't (at least now) agree to.  lcr code is using openser's
ip_addr2a in many places to convert ip address from internal
representation to string.

if there is a problem with endianity, should ip_addr2a function be fixed
so that it works correctly no matter what endianity the host is?

comments from whoever who considers him/herself responsible of ip_addr2a
function?
