[PATCH] iptables: use autoconf to process .in man pages

[PATCH] iptables: use autoconf to process .in man pages

[Andy Spencer]

This fixes a bug in iptables.8 and ip6tables.8 where @PACKAGE_VERSION@
was not processed in the VERSION section. It also simplifies the
Makefile by avoiding some sed commands.

Yea, I don't know how I feel about having a .in.in, but it seems to work
well enough.

Applied, thanks Andy.

I renamed the .in.in to .tmpl.in. After the the package version is
set, we got a template file which is later on populated with the
extensions. Just comestic change to avoid that.
