Attached is the file that contains the patches to libpcap to support

1) Files added to INSTALL.txt also need to be added to FILES.
2) the pcap-sita.html file says
Note: This document was derived from 'pcap.3' and is revision
controlled as part of the libpcap CVS.
It's derived from the *current* version of pcap.3; I don't think we can
commit to keeping it up-to-date with respect to the pcap man page, e.g.
if we add new APIs, without an automatic way of generating
pcap-sita.html from pcap.3.
Perhaps there should be a separate document that describes how the ACN
version of libpcap differs from the standard one.
3) is it intended that the ACN version of libpcap be able to capture
*only* on ACN devices, not on the regular devices on the machine on
which it's installed? It sounds as if IOP-type devices have names with
a particular format that isn't likely to match the name of a regular
Linux networking device, so it should, I think, be possible to support both.
4) Is the expectation that people not working for SITA (such as SITA's
customers) will build and install this?
