According to my text editor, neither Packet32.h nor BPF.h in WinPcap
2.3's developer package include "winsock.h"; they both include
"winsock2.h".

If you have a version of the WinPcap developer's package wherein any of
the WinPcap header files include "winsock.h", you have a version of the
WinPcap developer's package with which it is impossible to compile
current versions of Ethereal.  If the currently installed version of
WinPcap on your machine is prior to 2.3, you must uninstall it and
install 2.3, and then remove the pre-2.3 WinPcap developer's package and
install the 2.3 version.  (Or you could install the 3.0 alpha WinPcap
and developer's package if you're feeling ambitious.)
