OK.

OK.

I'll add it as an optional dependency, but it's up the the user to 
determine how to configure optional dependencies.  We just can't 
describe the options for every package.

The same issue about describing options is here.

Yes, I had to do that too.  It just didn't make it into the book.

OK, I'll add a note.  If I use wrappers at all, I use ALL: ALL.  I just 
don't see what it gives that I can't do with iptables.

Yes, it was a mess.  Thanks for the report.  I've got the updates made, 
but it will be a day or two until I can commit it.
