Link stage of libip6t_NETMAP failed since recently.

  CCLD     libip6t_NETMAP.so
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.7/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:
cannot find -lip6tc

libip6t_NETMAP.c uses the "ipv6_prefix_length" function from
libip6tc.so; "-lip6tc" is used in the Makefile, but, the directory to
it is not specified.

Why does the link succeed for some people? Because
/usr/lib(64)/libip6tc.so satisfies -lip6tc, but not all environments,
especially those without iptables development files, have that file,
hence this link error can happen.

By suggestion of Mike Frysinger, this patch uses libtool to produce
and link the plugins.

Like this? We cannot really get rid of mentioning .libs without involving
libltdl, and there I really do not want to go.

If you ask me, we should just move ipv6_prefix_length into libxtables.

why ?  are the modules run directly out of the build tree, or you just need to 
install them ?  `libtool --mode=install` can install an .la file ...

i'm not sure why a lot of these rules have trailing semi-colons.  they're 
pointless.

should be ../libxtables/libxtables.la rather than -L/-l for libxtables

these two rules could use your new $AM_VERBOSE_NULL

otherwise, this is an improvement imo over the existing code

Yes, one can run them out of the build tree; by using
./configure --with-xtlibdir=$PWD/extensions

Hm must be a habit of doing other programming languages.
