Xtables-addons 1.32/ipset-GENL 5.2

So a few people had been asking on whether ipset 5.x will be bundled 
along with Xtables-addons. Naturally this is a difficult question 
because ipset-5 wants a kernel patch. But yes, it is included as of Xt-a 
1.32 (just out).

It has been augmented to not require the patch anymore, by moving it 
over from nfnetlink (booo) to genetlink which does not depend on static 
numbers, though you will need at least Linux 2.6.35 for this GENL 
variant in both compilation and at runtime.
(As such, ipset-5 is deactivated by default in Xt-a 1.32 and needs to be 
turned on in mconfig.)


Xt-a files at the usual place.

The plain genl patch to ipset-5 can be found as a commit at 
git://dev.medozas.de/ipset in the "genl" branch. It has received a run 
through the testsuite (as far as it went until ospf), and I take that as 
an indication that proxying the protocol onto genl was successful.
