I've just checked in the new code. The makefile doesn't actually construct a 
shared library yet, but all you need to do to be able to put ebtables stuff 
in the kernel is compile communication.c, userful_functions.c and libebtc.c 
in your userspace program.
I haven't tested things extensively yet for bugs, and some details will still 
change. The code that deals with reading from/to a file instead of the kernel 
inside communication.c still has to be polished a bit, f.e.
The functions inside communication.c contain all the hard code that talks to 
the kernel and converts the kernel monolithic hunk into linked lists. The 
code in the other c-files is quite readable.
Comments are welcome. Until the next official release of ebtables, the library 
can still be changed.

Please direct any follow-ups to ebtables-devel instead of ebtables-user.

cheers,
Bart
