libnetfilter_conntrack and PPC64

[Victor Stinner <victor.stinner@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

We found a problem with libnetfilter_conntrack on PPC64 computer (64-bit, big 
endian). The last public version (0.81) has three bogus functions :
 * nfct_get_attr_u8
 * nfct_get_attr_u16
 * nfct_get_attr_u32

We also saw that the bug is already fixed in src/conntrack/api.c file of 
subversion. See attached patch that fix the bug. The patch is quite easy to 
understand.

Can someone release a new version of libnetfilter_conntrack just with the 
patch? I already asked Pablo but he's very busy.
