All you need is iptables-restore. It has all functions of iptables plus 
more and is very well suited for batch or daemon operations. What 
iptables-restore is is a efficient batch interface using the same syntax 
as iptables (well, it is even the same code so..)

libiptc is considered private to iptables/iptables-save/iptables-restore 
and is not meant to be used outside these applications.
