Nice ! even if in my case I don't need/cannot use smart routing.

A simple idea come in my mind : add a tinc variable like 
"SUBNET_BANDWIDTH" for example, this way it will be very easy to build 
dynamically the QOS classes with the subnet-up script when nodes comes 
up (and clean them with subnet-down)
More generally, I think it would be useful for scripting needs to have 
the possibility to declare and share custom variables between nodes.
