Ah! Yes, I forgot you will probably want to also import ufw.common and
possibly ufw.util. ufw.common has UFWRule in it with appropriate methods
for manipulating rules.

I was careful to reorganize the code so that (with the exception of
--dry-run) no output to stderr or stdout occurs in any of the modules.
The various modules will instead throw an exception for you to handle.

Yes, this would be ideal if doable, but like I said, probably not for
Jaunty.

Also, I quickly wrote doc/skel-ui as a skeleton for writing frontends
for ufw. It runs as is (assuming ufw is installed) and should setup
everything you need. It's in bzr.
