I still think this can be useful.

But, why don't you add this to the LOG target as an extension instead
of yet another target?

By "extension", I meant to say "revision".

If you're not familiar with the iptables revision mechanism, for
instance, have a look at net/netfilter/xt_NFQUEUE.c

Look for the "revision" pattern in that code. Basicaly, it allows you
to enhance existing matches/targets without breaking backward
compatibility.

Okay, will look and send new patches. :-)
