Updated the bridge-utils software to handle: * Greater than 32 bridges; now unlimited as far as the command is concerned. * Follow version convention: brctl -V * More complete and robust error handling, checks for errors when initializing and reading bridge information Known pre-existing issues: * Mixed 64bit/32bit ioctl handling was incorrect and removed. Will be replaced by correct code later. I.e for now still broken. * Still has limit of 256 ports per bridge until STP is updated. * Command reads in all the bridge information (even if it doesn't need it).
