Any way to run tinc on MikroTik routers?

Unfortunately, I don't think this is an option (even if I may put
there a full PC, not only a Raspberry Pi), for a few reasons:

- what I'm trying to achieve is to substitute MikroTik's native
L2TP/IPSec tunnels with tinc, not to have TWO tunnels

- supposing I have two different tunnels to the same destination, I
can't imagine a way to route traffic between them (since in tinc
routing is fully automatic and elegant, point-top-point L2TP/IPSec is
very inflexible)

Best regards,

Răzvan
