Is there a possibility to include 'raw' iptables statements directly 
(the stuff which goes after "-A <chain>") by shorewall? For example, 
specifying something like INLINE('-m <match 1> <match 1 parameters> -m 
<match 2> <match 2 parameters> [...] -j ACCEPT'), which shorewall takes 
and inserts after the appropriate "-A" and chain arguments without any 
modification. Obviously, I understand that optimisation of such 
statements will be non-existent, but I am willing to take that hit.

The reason I ask for this is because I have quite a lot of new features 
which by the looks of things and also judging by the snail-pace with 
which these are adopted (or not) by netfilter 'core' team it takes 
absolute ages to get mainline. In the meantime I need these for my own 
machines and need to be able to deploy them as quickly as possible.

Currently, I have only your postcompile feature to work with Tom, but 
that isn't always the most easy thing to do or the most 
practical/straight forward. Thanks.
