Hello Bart,
Well, as promised, I didn't ignore your mail :-)
Seriously.. as you might have noticed I've been pretty swamped
lately, and in the little time I did have for working on bridge-nf
I could hardly make any sense of the modifications you have made
in your bridge-nf patch. As I said before, I'm not happy about
the current complexity of the beast, and the fact that even I
most of the time don't understand what's going on is not a good
sign.
The only thing that's been keeping me from offering 'official'
bridge-nf maintainership to you is that you (used to) sometimes
do send me incorrect patches, but as I said, with the code being
as complex as it is it's getting hard for me to really understand
what's going on, so my judgement is becoming less and less
relevant.
I have merged pretty much all of your stuff without really
looking at it (which means that all bugreports will go to you
now :), plus added some bugfixes of my own into bridge-nf 0.0.10,
not officially released yet. Could you have a peek at it to
see if it looks sane? (I just verified that it compiles.)

cheers,
Lennert
