If thats what you want, we need to add ip_tables.h in
include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/.  Its the interaction between ip_tables.h
and x_tables.h that screw things up.

Both ip_tables.h and x_tables.h are part of the kernel source code.
Thare might be some dependencies to specific kernel, so it might not be
wise to include the files in SVN as we make a dependency to this
specific kernel, and we also needs to keep them in sync.

Well, Yasuyuki, should be able to answer this question...?
