  the current versions in GPP appear to be:

  * libpcap-0.8.3
  * tcpdump-3.8.3

i just tested a build with:

  * libpcap-0.9.8
  * tcpdump-3.9.8

and those versions appear to build just fine, also without patches.

  however, trying to build with:

  * libpcap-1.0.0
  * tcpdump-4.0.0

blew up badly.  if i have time later, i may look into that, unless
someone else already has patches to make those versions work.

  in any event, upgrading to the *9.8 versions appears to be safe.
