If that is the script I think it is (I can't tell, because it has been
removed from SF.net), as the author of that script, I ask: please don't
use it.  It was designed to solve a specific problem in my environment
at the time, and is no longer necessary due to the availability of
INCLUDE in all Shorewall configs.  As far as I can tell, it has also
been (rightfully) removed from the current Shorewall source repositories.
