It'd be "ditto for --enable-pcap" only if there were a single
"--with-pcap" option, so that you could disable libpcap support with
"--without-pcap".

You'd then want "--with-pcap=DIR", with the include files in DIR/include
and the libraries in DIR/lib.  The configure script should automatically
handle "pcap.h" being in DIR/include or DIR/include/pcap (and should, if
no directory was specified with "--with-pcap=DIR", e.g. if "--with-pcap"
wasn't supplied at all, find "pcap.h" regardless of whether it's in
"/usr/include", "/usr/local/include", "/usr/include/pcap", or
"/usr/local/include/pcap").
