 I already have an ebuild for it that compiles iptables, and just
 installs the headers and library files, and my local tests shows that it
 works fine here.
Unless vapier has a strong reason not to include libiptc, you should
rather just modify the main iptables ebuild to install the library
again. 

Adding a separate variant of the package just for the library is a sure
way to cause missed security patches and bugfixes later on (see shades
of xpdf).

Okay, I'll ask him for input on it :)
Thanks.
