Looking at the configure.ac / Makefile.in's I've noticed that they are not exactly 'state of the art'. I think, adding a proper/modern gnu autotools support to nftables would solve all my cross compile problems. My question in the first place is if it's interesting for you to add such a support to nftables. I've already tried it myself to see how complex it is; I've found it easy to update the configure.ac and to replace the Makefile.in's with Makefile.am's. The difficult part arises now from the header files: it seems there are kinda circular dependencies between them and it's difficult for me to solve them (ideally I should not need to modify any of the .c or .h files). Please let me know your position about it.
