--with-xtables is supposed to specify an iptables directory directly;
if at all, -L$xtables_location/.libs would have been the right option
(due to how libtool stores its files).
I guess it makes more sense to just remove --with-xtables and let the
user set PKG_CONFIG_PATH and/or CFLAGS,LDFLAGS accordingly instead,
which should have the same result.

--with-kbuild only affects the build of the kernel modules (which
does not use /usr/include at all) and this is intentional. Userspace
should only use exported headers such as those from /usr/include
or linux-2.6.xy/usr/include.

extensions/Makefile.am:_kcall = -C ${kbuilddir} M=${abs_srcdir}
