[j-nsp] TEXT->XML, XML examples?

[Per Ole Klemetsrud]

The junoscript api perl client
(https://www.juniper.net/support/xml/junoscript/archive.html), includes a 
script called get_config.pl that does what you want, almost.  That is, it 
logs onto the router and saves the config as an XML file.  You can also 
use "|display xml" on most commands from the CLI, including show config 
if you're just playing around.
