I am giving up on fixing it for that release for general distros.
I will wait until iptables 1.4.4 becomes mainstream then i will make
another fix. It is very hard to keep up concurently with a) apis
changing randomly on the part of iptables b) distros picking random
versions of iptables and c) iproute2 being released in random
uncoordinated manner.
Maybe a solution that would work is to fork iproute2 or make ipt
part of iptables. In the meantime i can work with anyone who wants
to get it to work with fixed version of iproute2 + iptables. Sergey,
if this is of interest to you let me know.

cheers,
jamal
