Hi,

TPROXY is Linux specific.
It's included in mainline kernel from 2.6.30, thanks to excellent work
of Balabit Ltd.

I think it's the decision of maintainers to include code that is OS
specific.

I tried to write code as non-intrusive as I could.
I think it should compile on any supported platform.

Global TProxy 0 option preserves original behavior.
Global Tproxy 1 option checks for TPROXY availabilty.
(use setsockopt and optname = 19 (IP_TRANSPARENT). I don't know optname
19 have any meaning in others OSs)

I don't know about similar feature in other OSs, but it would be nice to
implement it in as many supported platform as possible.

Regards,
ivan
