As I see it, this will already be addressed by merging complementary
code into one source file (e.g. MARK, mark, CONNMARK, connmark
all into a big new xt_mark.c), to reduce (a) amount of files
and (b) build time.

This has been touched before at
http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=121148631320895&w=2
I welcome that idea, but have yet been holding off sending patches
on that because these code-moving changes would possibly generate
a lot of .rej noise while I am still having other patches in my
queue.
