Hi,
Until recently, I've only been using the
system-config-securitylevel-tui utility, because it's easy to use
while covering all my needs.
Now I have to switch to a manual iptables configuration, because 1)
the system-config-securitylevel-tui utility has been "dumbed" down,
and 2) some of the things I want to do need a more fine-grained control.
What's the most "orthodox" (e. g. clean) solution to configure
iptables manually (in a script, somewhere) with SL ?

A custom script. Very nice how to for RH and Fedora could be find here:

Yes, definitely easiest to control iptables with a short/simple script IMHO.
Also take a look at the CentOS Wiki iptables howto page which shows in
detail how to implement such a script:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/IPTables
Once you've created your script, making changes to your firewall are as
simple as making a quick edit to the script in your favourite text
editor and (re)running the script.
