Whoops, thanks!

iptstate(8) is already a released and stable piece of software, but a while
back Harald Welte had mentioned I should port it from using
/proc/net/ip_conntrack to "ctnetlink". But at the time ctnetlink was neither
a stable API nor a friendly API nor was it in any common distros.

However libnetfilter_conntrack is in many distros now and is cleaner and
easier to use, and is a (more?) stable API. So I decided to finally make the
switch.

As for when it'll get released... eh... few weeks? The port to the old API
is done, the port to the new API should be done the next time I have an hour
or so, and then I have a few new features pending for this release.
