Integrate libpcap

Release binding: Patch

Target Consolidation: SFW

1. Summary

   libpcap is an open source user-level library that provides a high
   level packet capture interface.  This project proposes to integrate
   libpcap version 0.9.8 plus additional changes specific to Solaris
   which causes libpcap to use libdlpi in order to be interoperable
   with Clearview Vanity Naming.  These libdlpi changes have been
   integrated into the upstream public domain sources and therefore
   will be available in future releases of libpcap.

   Known applications that are dependent upon libpcap are Wireshark,
   tcpdump, snort, ngrep, and ntop.

3. Imported Interfaces

   The version of libpcap being integrated by this project uses the
   libdlpi API defined in PSARC 2006/436.  Its stability is Committed.
