  FYI, all that ends up doing is have the openvpn daemon execute the
"route" command for you when the tunnel comes up.  That's usually a
good thing, of course, since it makes the system self-configuring, and
also avoids attempting configuration when the VPN isn't there.  But as
far as the kernel router is concerned, it is identical to issuing the
"route" command manually.
