I can do any of these steps.  As far as automatic creation programs, all 
you need is to put your files in the proper dir structure and do a 

tar zcvf /tmp/packagename.pkg .

in the "root" of the PKG contents dir.

iptables is similar to, but quite a different animal from, ipchains.  A lot 
of the UI bits should be transportable, except the 550 UI is totally 
different from the RaQ 4.

To make it completely generic, and thus more portable to a generic Linux 
box, we might want to investigate a separate "pop-up" admin UI. That way 
it will work and look the same on all platforms; the only piece to 
customize is the "launch" button in the UI to make the popup appear...

I'll set mine up this week sometime.
