As soon as somebody ports it and sends me a patch.  I receive about 3-5
mails per week asking for this feature... but apparently nobody is

It appears Mandrake have ported the patch to 2.6.
See http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2004-August/016550.html
It still needs at least some testing, but should be close.
