I think that you can move functions that are common to iptables and
ip6tables like exit_error(), merge_options(), ... and so on to
libxtables. I think that the purpose of this libxtables library should be:

1) To provide an API for jamal's tc ipt and your xtables-addon thing
(anyone willing to compile their .so files without recompiling iptables).
2) To factorize some code which is common to iptables and ip6tables.
