[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] Allow vis daemon to serve mesh topology simultaneously in dot_draw and JSON format
After some great input from Marek I took a swing at rewriting my vis patch to allow serving of mesh topology simultaneously in dot_draw & json.
* -j enables JSON server on port 2005
* dot_draw continues to be served on port 2004 irrespective of whether -j is specified or not.
Some thoughts:
* It is not the prettiest of patches but it works. Thinking about cleaner approaches makes my imagination drift in the direction of a simple plugin API such as OLSRd has, anyone else having any similar thoughts ? :)
* I'm serving json on port 2005 - any alternative suggestions ?
Patch attached for review, looking forward to feedback!

The code itself is far from being pretty. As usual it started as a proof of concept grew into a temporary solution and is still around. It worked quite well so far but if you have ideas & energy to improve it, please go ahead. :-)
