I found a way to alter the iptables source to get that information - see 
my own thread on the netfilter mailing list here - 
http://www.spinics.net/lists/netfilter/msg49094.html

Whether the devs responsible for iptables/netfilter would agree to make 
these changes I am not sure - I patched my own iptables and it works!
