David, have you made any progress on this? If it is not close to finishing, 
then probably we can change tasks a little. I think I understand how it 
should be implemented. On the other hand, you had some ideas about generating 
paths from proprty sets and have implemented 'feature.jam', so could write 
impoved property.as-path rule better and faster than I. Would you mind to 
implementing that in the first place, leaving command line to me?
