Thanks, added your patch to cvs!

While looking at paketto's source code I noticed it builds its own versions of libpcap, libnet and libtomcrypt. Doesn't seem too bright to me, not to mention security... We should take a better look at it.

Relevant bugs:

Well just drop it once issues arises or someone needs to port it then as upstream is dead for >4 years now ;)
