Something I noticed that should be in the repository is the FireHOL firewall language, you can find it at firehol.sourceforge.net . Instead of mucking around with iptables chains to get a decent working firewall you can use simple commands in a configuration file and type
firehol start
to start your simplified rule set. A good example is the client configuration, which by one line of command
client accept all
sets up a fully stateful stealthed firewall, instead of the lines and lines of iptables rules.
The problem I ran into using it with arch is that the IPRoute package doesn't support the ftp/irc protocol tracking that iptables does, so that would need to be fixed (think there's a patch) before it could be added.

i agree that firehol is an excellent firewall configuration tool.

is there somewhere that i can download a patched iproute package in order to use my firehol script?
