Thank you, that worked. One more question - currently Bro does not compile
on systems that use libpcap < 1.1.1, because PCAP_NETMASK_UNKNOWN is not
defined (example compile error:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/home:0xxon:bro/bro-nightly/xUbuntu_10.04/i586)

Could we perhaps test for the definition of that macro and either define
it to something ourselves in that case, or just use another code-path? On
a first glance, it does not look especially critical that we use it, but I
am not really familiar with that case.
