Use <fcntl.h> rather than <sys/file.h> in pcap-bpf.c - that's the right

Don't include <sys/timeb.h> - it doesn't define anything that pcap-bpf.c

a bit to directly include <linux/usbdevice_fs.h> and *not* to require
the USB library just to supply a header with USB definitions.

Currently make install in libpcap never installs pcap/{vlan,bluetooth}.h
headers. Attached patch makes it install them in case support was built
in into libpcap.
Currently if there are bluetooth.h headers installed in the system
libpcap will be built with bluetooth support and it's impossible to
disable it. Attached patch adds --{en,dis}able-bluetooth switches.
Also this patch makes use of AS_HELP_STRING to let autoconf manage
output layout.

Currently SITA will be defined and sita code will be tried to build even
if --without-sita is passed to ./configure. Patch in attachment fixes
this issue.
pcap-linktype man pages; it should be section 7 for UN*Xes using the
V7/BSD conventions (this includes *BSD, Linux, and Mac OS X), and
section 5 for UN*Xes using the System V conventions (this includes
Solaris and HP-UX, and possibly AIX).
scripts, "target" refers to the platform, presumably a compiler, linker,
assembler, etc., for which the software generates code, "host" refers to
the platform on which the software runs, and "build" refers to the
platform on which the software is being built.

Don't define variables if we aren't going to use them.
If we have an unknown tpacket version (this "can't happen"), return an

handle" routine, an 'activate a pcap_t handle" routine, and some "set
the properties of the pcap_t handle" routines, so that, for example, the
buffer size can be set on a BPF device before the device is bound to an
interface.
Add additional routines to set monitor mode, and make at least an
initial attempt at supporting that on Linux, *BSD, and Mac OS X 10.4 and
10.5.
Have a "timeout" member of the pcap_md structure on all platforms, use
that on Windows instead of the "timeout" member of the pcap_t structure,
and get rid of the "timeout" member of that structure.
move it into pcap-sita.c, and make --with-sita set the pcap type to
"sita", so we build pcap-sita.c instead of, rather than in addition to,
pcap-linux.c.
Use "bpf_u_int32" rather than "ulong" in the SITA code, as it's intended
to be 32 bits long (the "l" in "htonl()" and "ntohl()" is historical -
they work on 32-bit quantities, and the "l" dates back to the days when
32-bit processors were a bit newer and 16-bit Unix was more common).
Those changes also, at least in theory, makes the SITA support work on
other Unix-compatible platforms; note that in README.sita.
Clean up pcap-sita.c, making routines no longer called outside it
static, folding trivial wrappers, and fixing various warnings.
Put the routines used by fad-sita.c and defined by pcap-sita.c into
pcap-sita.h. Remove from pcap-sita.h the files that are now static to
pcap-sita.c. Include pcap-sita.h in both fad-sita.c and pcap-sita.c, so
that we do cross-file prototype checking.
if it does, use that for the pf definitions;
if it doesn't, don't compile in pf support;
as both OpenBSD and FreeBSD have changed the pf definitions and header
format without changing the DLT value, so you can't reliably read
pflog-format libpcap files on a machine running an OS version other than
the one on which the file was generated.

Make the optimizer use unsigned numbers as the kernel does.
While it is not agreed on that purely unsigned arithmetics is nice,
different behaviour of optimized and unoptimized code is less desirable.

pull in from NetBSD's libpcap: use cloning bpf device on NetBSD
Have the configure script check for paths.h, so that we can include it
only if we have it, and use the cloning BPF device only if we're on
NetBSD *and* _PATH_BPF is defined (hopefully this will keep us from
using it on versions of NetBSD that don't have a cloning BPF device; if,
in the future, other OSes with BPF get cloning BPF devices, we can make
this work for them as well).
Linux. The USB sniffing code for Linux now supplies a per-packet header
based on the one supplied by the Linux binary sniffing interface, so we
add a new DLT_ value and use that.
Fix his e-mail address, and add him to the credits.
when building a shared library, build with "-fPIC" on Linux, to
support x86_64;
link with "$(CC) -shared" rather than "ld -shared" when building
a ".so" shared library (as would be done with ELF systems that
use GCC);
add an explicit "-ldag" when building the shared library, so the
DAG library dependency is explicit.
If the DAG API supports asking a card for the set of ERF types
it supports, use that capability, to handle cards that support
multiple ERF types. This is to support channelised/fractional
T1/E1.
Don't set the snapshot length - some DAG cards support multiple
capture streams, but the snapshot length is global, so it'd
affect other captures.
Update README.dag.
