In case you didn't see this:
http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Netfilter-developers-working-on-NAT-for-ip6tables-1385877.html

It's a complete IPv6 NAT implementation with the functionality of the IPv4 one in the same stack.  ALGs.  Port translation.  Connection tracking.  You don't need me to tell you why I don't like this.

Cheers,
