klaus,

i had the same problem with readme and asked questions about it.

may be it refers to integer value of type 1 mtrees, which are not
documented in readme, but which daniel referred to.

it seemed to me that modes 0 and 1 (corresponding to types 0 and 1 of
mtrees) were already "reserved" in the code, although not used.
therefore i chose mode 2 for the case where values of all matching
prefixes are added to an an avp.  

i still need to add mtrees table schema.  i don't know if mtree schema
is also needed.
