After I responded, I suspected that was the case. I've hacked the remaining vestiges from /sbin/shorewall-lite. Note that shorewall-lite(8) didn't mention using a directory -- only "shorewall-lite help" and the operations document did. The operations document (trunk/docs/starting_and_stopping_shorewall.xml) still needs work for 4.0 -- it doesn't discuss compiler selection at all yet.
