Create a tuntap interface with libnl

[Teto]

Thanks for the advice.
You will find enclosed a patch built upon the other patches sent in
the topic http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libnl/2013-October/001113.html
that adds basic tuntap support (can create it, set user, set it
permanent) both in C and python.
