Interesting.... I checked a linux machine here with libpcap-0.4a5.
When installing libpcap, ./configure creates a link from net to bpf/net,
but when 'make install-incl' is run, ginstall will create the files, but
not the directory which is supposed to contain bpf.h. If I create the
directory manually, then run make install-incl, the file is copied.
