  Ask the right person! :)

  The patches on our homepage were created for 2.6.6 with Jozsef
Kadlecsik's TCP window tracking patch applied. The one in POM-ng should
apply on 2.6.6 (and probably fail on others). BTW, applying window
tracking onto 2.6.7 has failed for me, so applying TProxy will fail as
well.

  You can somewhat lower these requirements by skipping 04-nat_delete,
since that is a rarely-used optional part, and it is the only part of the
patches which requires the TCP window tracking code. I've just re-checked
that the patches contained in our tarball apply without rejects on vanilla
2.6.6.
