Hi Johannes,

I'd be more than happy to package the pre8 version. Unfortunately there
are several issues:
- Dependent packages like networkmanager and knetworkmanager don't work
with the new version. It broke abi and compilation fails because api is
obviously changed too.
- There are some oddities, like netlink/netlink.h including
linux/ip_mp_alg.h. On my machine, this header file is not installed.
It looks like libnl has a private copy of this file, but as it get's not
installed on "make install" compilation fails because of that, too.

If you can help me sort out these two issues, I'll upload pre8 asap.

Cheers,
Michael
