I'm happy to make this work on Gentoo, I'm just not a gentoo user, so I
need your help. If you have further questions, would you mind putting them
on github? This mailing list is confusing people a bit with shorewall-nft
things. I'm happy to have shorewall-nft be the successor to shorewall, but
github does give us a better way to organise specific bugs, so we need both.
