As i was suspecting this is related to iptables breaking backwards

I suspect the iptables folks maybe unaware that there are other users of
iptables and assume that anyone needing to use new iptables will
recompile everything from scratch. BAD! BAD!
I am ccing the necessary evil doers (Harald and Patrick - at least they
would know who the real evildoer is). 

We'll try to keep this in mind in the future. We could move
the version field to the end, but I guess its already too
late. What do you think?
