I (there is no us), would rather just pull the app from my end then
merge code and depend on another lib. Just about everyone who uses
tcpreplay has Ethereal already installed, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
I'm not really interested in maintaining it (it was contributed by
someone else no longer on the project) and keeping it up todate with all
the new pcap formats anyways.
As a matter of fact, that's what I'll do in the next major version, but
that prolly won't be released until next year.
