	FWIW, you can modify the behavior of "check-state" to "JUMP TO
	RULE NUMBER XXX on stateful match" and solve most of the problems
	associated with natd & stateful inspection.  Right now,
	if check-state finds a match it stops...we need it to optionally
	JUMP_TO RULE XXX.  Kinda like "skipto" functionality.

	I talked to Luigi about this and he didn't understand what I 
	meant (which is my fault).  But I believe the concept is still
	sound.
