the modules are not part of the _core_ of netfilter - netfilter itself
sits inside the kernel (it has to, to form the hooks that allow its
various modules to work) and thus the kernel would surely get larger.
btw, netfilter has not just 1 or 2 moduels - it has around 15+ modules -
unless you ocmpile them all into the kernel itself.

if you already had netfilter in the kernel,and were just missing the
ipchains compatibility layer - then i don't know (since i don't know if it
erquires a change in netfilter's core or not).
