Hi everyone,

this is a resend, my previous email was a bit big, something like 100k, 
so it seems that mailman wasn't so happy with it.

So this time I just attached the configure.ac file. To get the whole patch:

Hi,

I made a configure.ac file to make iptables compile using autoconf
stuff, it applies to the current CVS snapshot. I defined three possible
options which can be passed to configure, they are:


   --disable-shared-libs     compile static linked version of iptables
   --disable-ipv6     disable support for ipv6
   --with-kernel-dir=DIR     location of kernel sources

I also added another one called --enable-debug-mode but I'm not sure the
way iptables is compiled in debug mode, so I just commented it, please
have a look at the configure.ac to see what I'm talking about.

I respected as much as possible the current Makefile to generate the
Makefile.in . I also renamed all Makefiles to Makefile.in included in
subdirs because someone could add to them some autoconf stuff later.

The configure script generates a file called config.h which includes a
define which specifies the architecture where iptables is going to be
compiled. Oh, we could avoid the use of this file just passing the
architecture as a C flag, sure.

I'm not an autoconf geek, so if there's something weird, please let me
know. Comments are welcome.

regards,
Pablo
