Yes it can be renamed, I named pdpcap when I started the object (PD+PCAPlib)...,... pcap could be a good name....any suggestions?

name the package "pd-pcap" and the pd library file "pcap.pd_linux" for example.

Several programming languages use such naming... the hyphen makes it like a namespace in the package-manager, and the complete lack of the "pd-" prefix in the context of pd makes it look like you're loading the original "pcap" itself into Pd (which, of course, makes a lot more sense if that's exactly what your lib does : a plain wrapper and nothing else). I think that this is the kind of naming that users of several other programming languages have come to expect (Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, PHP, etc.)
