BTW, has anyone attempted to build netfilter modules using the kernel build 
system? It would be nice to be able to try out some of the experimental 
stuff without having to build a full custom kernel. (I'd particularly like 
to use the U32 match module to detect/block some malicious UDP packets.) 
IIRC, most of the modules include a matching userspace shared object that's 
used by the iptables binary so of course that would also be needed, but in 
principle one could package the two together.
