I have iptranslation almost done, but as a kernel level module hooked
into the fw code. It's currently being testet at one of our local ISP's,
infact they are the ones that kind of asked for it. The framework
could be used to build an userlever daemon as well, so when its
ready I'll commit it for reference :)
(there are NO strings attached to that code)..
