The options in the Makefile are a bit too difficult for my taste too.
Probably will be improved when I can spend more time on developing
CIPE in the future. Else it's mostly "make install and modprobe", or
what exactly is difficult?

So far the biggest non-integrability problem with CIPE is that it
can't work under 2.1. The stuff in output.c and sock.c digs deeply
into kernel structures which have fundamentally changed. But I want to
port that anyway (probably start fresh from kernel's ipip.c and
forward-port the additions I've made).

It would be great to have some sort of docs that explain the
differences between 2.0 and 2.1 netdevices. There are so many driver
authors who all had to do these updates, there must be something like
this ;-)
