It looks for KERNEL_DIR/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_connbytes.h
whereas 1.3.5 looks for KERNEL_DIR/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_connbytes.c

I'm using 2.6.17.4 but I've had a look at 2.6.16.27 (which is what LFS
6.2 uses). 2.6.16.27 satisfies the 1.3.6 test, so I would argue using
1.3.6 would tie in better with the the LFS itself.
