Well, just look at it:
for ext in $(1); do \
f="${srcdir}/libxt_$$ext.man"; \
if [ -f "$$f" ]; then \
echo ".SS $$ext"; \
cat "$$f"; \
continue; \
fi; \
f="${srcdir}/libipt_$$ext.man"; \
if [ -f "$$f" ]; then \
echo ".SS $$ext"; \
cat "$$f"; \
continue; \
fi; \
f="${srcdir}/libip6t_$$ext.man"; \
if [ -f "$$f" ]; then \
echo ".SS $$ext"; \
cat "$$f"; \
continue; \
fi; \
done >$@;
could be reduced to 1/3 of its size.

but *iptables* itself does not use it, does it? in which case
libipq should probably move to its own tarball, that is what
I was proposing.
