I've been on both sides of this issue, to be sure, but I have to say
that looking at it now, I can't see any reason to change the actual
name of the library right now unless we're also going to go whole-hog
and change the API functions to PacketNATFoo() and such, something
that would only really make sense (or be worth the effort, anyway) if
we had a bunch of improvements to bring in at the same time, e.g. a
significant rearchitecting effort.
If we don't have anything like that planned, then simply changing the
user visible flags and man pages to strongly encourage use of -nat
style options rather than the deprecated -alias ones will probably
be enough of a step in the right direction for now.
