[PATCH] libnfnetlink and libnetfilter_conntrack updates

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

Hi everyone,

I finally finished the new libnetfilter_conntrack API, I have spent this
weekend porting conntrackd to the new API as a way to test it, and it
seems to work fine here. The new API includes documentation and
overcomes (or at least tries to) the existing limitations. The patch is
available here (~80Kbytes):

Together with this patch comes another patch for libnfnetlink to
introduce some new API:

The use of the new API is strongly recommended since we plan to remove
the obsolete API sooner or later, anyway we'll warn everyone several
times before doing so. I'm also planning to port the remaining libraries
(libnetfilter_queue/log) to the new API.
