Hrm, so I could be speaking out of turn :( I was going to find some config
that did this, then decided to not :( Looking around I don't see it handy
:( and I was probably smoking something good when I remembered this the
first time around :(

sorry for the false hope :( I suppose if I'd thought through the problem:
1) all inbound ebgp/ibgp routes to local-rib's
2) decision process in BGP RIB (best path selection)
3) outbound bgp policy application/sending
4) FIB population
it would have aviled my faux-pas :( Sorry about that.
