It compiled fine for me recently (with some fixes that I just checked
in).  NT 4.0, VC6 (out of the box; dunno whether there were any service
packs bundled), and the last version of the Platform SDK that I could
install without

	1) the installer whining that I wasn't running the right Shiny
	   New Version Of NT (5.0 or later)

or

	2) the installer not letting me leave enough stuff out of the
	   install so that it'd fit on my NT partition).

However, I don't have a standard version of WinPcap installed, so it may
be that some WinPcap header file in the version you have installed is
dragging in <winsock2.h>, and that's conflicting with <winsock.h> as
included by other header files in Wiretap.
