The files for nf_conntrack are nf_conntrack_*.[h,c].

bCONNTRACK-YYYYMMDD branch(yes, the latest is 20040816) still includes
ip_conntrack, ip6_conntrack. nf_conntrack can track both IPv4 and IPv6
connection state, but I didn't remove ip_conntrack and ip6_conntrack
for compatibility reason and nf_conntrack doesn't include IPv4 NAT facility.
