Ahh, that's very nice to have.

Could we make the configure script a little more clever so that it is
a tri-state and can auto-detect whether lokkit is available. 

 - enable_iptables_lokkit=no - force disable
 - enable_iptables_lokkit=yes - check if it is supported, and error if not
 - enable_iptables_lokkit=check - check if it is supported and enable or disable as needed

With 'check' being the default. This makes it 'do the right' thing by
default, and lets the user have a strict override if neccessary.


ACK to the rest of the patch

Dan.
