yes, I am aware of this.  It's just like in pre-newnat times with
ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp.  You could load ip_nat_ftp without
autoloading of ip_conntrack_ftp.

To make the autoloading work, one has two options 

a) use respective configuration in modules.conf
b) add a paragraph of code to the init() function of ip_conntrack_pptp
   and ip_nat_pptp which request the gre modules.

I will implement solution b) before the module will be submitted to the
mainstream kernel.

Great, thanks for this report.
