Integrate "libpcap" in its entirety, with the patch applied, into the
distribution, in a subdirectory, or include the patch as part of the
distribution (and possibly have the "configure" script, if it's on a
Linux system, try to determine if the patch has already been applied,
e.g. by seeing if the "libpcap" library includes a call to "select()")?
