  The patch looks fine, based on the existing code, but I'm a bit
surprized by the fact that while there is a lookup for
ip6tables/iptables at configure time, i.e. when it's compiled, there
is no check at runtime to verify that the binaries which were detected
then are actually available on the target.
  I think some of this should be relaxed like we do for other commands
launched at runtime and somehow we should instead use
  virFindFileInPath() from util.h
to find the location of the preferred ip[6]tables.

  ACK,

Daniel
