I'm using a qube2 as a gateway, so I need the GATEWAY option, and want 
IPFILTER_LOG.  But when I build with GATEWAY and IPFILTER_LOG and the 
ipfilter pseudo device turned on, my kernel comes out at more that 
2500000 which the FAQ says is too big.  Compressed it's under 1000000, 
so I might be ok, but if not, what can I try?
