Bug Description

As given in the title the libnl-1 library is deprecated. more of this the actual configure script do not detect the libnl version installed so it terminate properly if only libnl-2 is installed. I'm using a LFS with KDE trunck (future 4.6). I don't want to install libnl-1 only for ntrack so KDE will be built without ntrack support untill it no longer depend on obsolete library.

As the libnl documentation tell, the change should not be too difficult.

  common: add support for libnl-2.0 and use by default; keep compile time fallback support for libnl-1 - lp:686554
  + add support for HAVE_LIBNL1 and HAVE_LIBNL2 to configure and autoheaders
  + introduce macros for NL_CACHE_MNGR_ALLOC NL_CACHE_MNGR_ADD, NL_PRINT_ERROR and RTNL_ROUTE_GET_PRIO to abstract from libnl1/2 api changes
  + introduce typedef for NTRACK_nl_handle that abstracts from nl_handle (libnl1) vs. nl_sock (libnl2)
  + allocate nl_handle for HAVE_LIBNL1 and nl_sock for HAVE_LIBNL2 in libnl backend init
