ulogd-1.23
       http://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/ulogd/

ulogd is a replacement for traditional syslog-based logging (using the LOG
target) in iptables-based firewalls. ULOG/ulogd has a different concept. Packets
get copied to a special logging daemon, which can do very detailed logging to
different targets (plaintext files, MySQL databases, ...). ulogd supports
plugins for different output formats, as well as for new protocols/..

ulogd is already in Fedora Extras; that seems like a good place for these
libraries to start out as well.
