I kind of liked the other idea in this pr, namely, adding an option
to discard source routed packets as they arrive, so that they don't
make it up the protocol stack.  RFC1122 explicitly states that
source routed packets MUST be handed up the protocol state, but
perhaps it was a product of a kinder and gentler age.  It would
be really easy to add 'net.inet.ip.acceptsrcrt'.

Would anyone object to such an addition?
