[tproxy] Patch errors on vanilla kernels?

[David]

(I accidently sent this mail to Balazs earlier today. Was checking the
message, and found out I didn't send it to the mailinglist. Sorry to
Balazs for that)


"for example ..." Do you use any other patch or is this
tcp-window-tracking patch the only one?
And shouldn't dependencies be in the README file? I have no clue which
patches to install before I can use the TProxy patches.

generates dozens of errors.
