I wanted to give it a shot and updated most of the patches to fit to
2.6.17-rc1 (as in the git version of linus kernel from some hours ago).
A diff against the svn.netfilter.org version can be found at [42].

I'm experiencing some lack of "knowledge" about the newest *tables ->
x_tables chances and want to ask if someone allready has put some effort
into updating the patches/code.

If someone did, I would love to get/test/use the updates :)

If not, I will try to fix this myself these days, but I don't know if I
will be able to do so even though git makes things easier.

At [42] there are still working patches for the "plain" ct_sync branch :)
(I splitted the patch in -fix and -cleanup)
