    The most painful thing is that pf's nat works for GRE - SOMETIMES :-(

    The only thing firewall needs to implement for natting GRE is creation
    of two rules (forward and back) for GRE packet, just like it does for ICMP.

    I'm not a firewall writer, but as far as I understand general procedural
    programming, it cannot be THAT complicated.
