sure, but the full config files are not as big as you may think. At least I 
personally don't have a problem with 40k for good explanation in these config 
files.

But If you take a look at my patch, you will see that I just make it more 
flexible. If someone just wants the minimal version, then "shorewall" 
and "shorewall-conffiles" should be installed. For the full version of all 
configfiles, simply installing "shorewall" and "shorewall-full-conffiles" 
should do the trick.

I don't want to force someone to use the full configfiles! I just want that 
the user has the choice to decide what he needs!

thx!!! please let me know if some aspects of the patch doesn't match the 
freewrt requirements. But I am quite sure that my patch makes shorewall more 
useable on freewrt and is not a step backwards in any aspect.
