So I just took a look on openwrt's snapshot list of packages. Looks like
olsrd is up to date with the latest release from two days ago. The whole
snapshot list was updated yesterday.
Babeld snapshot is 1.3.2 (current is 1.3.4)
Batmanadv snapshot is 3.7.7+2013 (couldnt find a current comparable
version)
Openwrt's attitude adjustment is rc1, so an rc2 or stable might be in the
lineup soon.

Nice. Theres a list for ar71xx routers on openwrt.
Also, theres a tag
system too if youre after particular hardware requirements.
I dont know how frequently the olsr/batman/babel packages are updated for
use on openwrt. Im not sure how to keep it current. Im sure I will learn
soon.
I was wondering which requirements were minimal. I started with two
netgear wndr3800's just to get the ball rolling. Glad to know there are
several cheaper options with which to experiment.

Pretty useful hardware suggestions I got from
#olsr on freenode:
02:27 < soma> generally almost everything that bases on ar71xx is
probably the best hardware for openwrt (good cpu/ram and good ath9k wifi
driver)
02:27 < legind> I've heard that having 2 cpu cores is preferable in mesh
routing
02:28 < soma> for indoor there are a lot of options where some tp-links
are quite cheap. e.g. wr1043nd or wdr3600. there are also cheaper ones
like wr703 or wr741, but they only have 4MB flash. thats enough, but i
personally wouldn't want them because restricted space in flash is uncool
02:28 < soma> for outdoors ubiquiti stuff is my favorite
02:28 < soma> why 2 cores?
02:29 < soma> better 2 wifi interfaces
02:32 < legind> one core handles the mesh network and one for internal lan
02:33 < legind> thanks for the suggestions soma
02:34 < soma> that depens on your usecase then. maybe thats good if you
want to route traffic from e.g. lan to wan at 1gbps all the time, then
it could make sense. but for all normal needs 1 core is imo enough and i
also think platforms with 2 cores are just starting to come out
