Okay, I'm happy to leave as is. However, I would still suggest a review
of the naming in the upgrade (see below).

Correct, I overlooked the NAT aspect, so probably best leaving it for
the time being.

I've added the configure option --with-netfilter-conntrack for the MARK
patch, but maybe to make things clearer the options should be more like:

--with-linux-netfilter

and

--with-linux-netfilter-conntrack

This makes it a bit clearer that the two are related but separate.
Thoughts?
