Feel free to post a version you consider suitable for merging
(without all the version ifdefs, only nf_conntrack support,
etc). I had a quick look at the current version and it seems
to maintain some internal hash of connections, IIRC that has
not always been the case. In case that change is from you
please add a short description. And it should probably support
all protocols.
