Please, add this chunk to this patch:

Otherwise, compilation breaks with:

* IPv4 NAT is disabled
* IPv6 NAT enabled.

Fixed, thanks.


And yes, that pile of ifdefs is really ugly, I wonder if they are
worth for saving 4 bytes. I think most vendors usually include
MASQUERADE support if NAT is enabled.

It seems we have the tradition of keeping several similar compile time
options in Netfilter to optimize memory in several situations (at the
cost of polluting the code with ifdefs). Probably we can think of
getting rid of them.

Well, vendors maybe, but what about embedded systems? I have some which
are *really* short on memory. They limit conntrack to very few entries
though, so it doesn't make that much of a difference.
