Arch Linux

Description:

This is a request to build the 2.87 release (when it's made..) with nftables set support, see: https://thekelleys.org.uk/gitweb/?p=dnsmasq.git;a=commit;h=47aefca5e405b4b6627ef952fdc42e61b1baa770

`nftset` implements the nftables equivalent to dnsmasq's `--ipset` option.

It's enabled by building with `-DHAVE_NFTSET`.

Since 2.87 isn't released yet, I wanted to file this now because adding this option will add a new dependency on `nftables`, since Arch Linux does *not* package `libnftables.so` separately from the runtime service/exe, etc in `nftables`. The `nftables` package is fairly small and it doesn't seem to change system runtime config when it's installed (users have to manually enable the service etc), so maybe adding that dependency doesn't matter too much. Ideally, Arch Linux would just package the nftables so separately so that apps which link against it don't have to `depend` on the full set of nftables tools, etc...

Anyways, I hope that the next release of dnsmasq can be built with this option enabled, since it's really useful!
