eeks... a compressed archie including a binary is not what people on
linux-kernel usually want to see....

anyway - thanks for your contribution. Why didn't you submit this for
inclusion into netfilter/iptables CVS patch-o-matic ? We (the netfilter
people) keep all the new targets/matches/... there and submit approved
stuff after some time for inclusion to the main kernel.

I'll do some testing and put it into CVS, if you want to.
