We hope so, or at least merge some features together. But it won't happen
tomorrow.

Our first goal is to either get the NAT-T patch accepted, or rewrite it to
use a netfilter module. This would at least ensure a kernel recompilation
is no longer needed for klips. Then it does not matter that much that
klips is not a part of the kernel itself, since we can just compile it as
a module.

We would prefer the netfilter solution, but no work has started on that
project yet.
