Much of that stuff shouldn't be necessary.
One problem is that the OpenBSD folks, for better or worse, are,
apparently, setting the open file limits lower than other UN*Xes, as he
notes before discussing Wireshark.
Another problem is that he's generating his own Makefile.in files by
using autogen.sh, rather than using the ones that come with the source
tarball - the INSTALL and README files are written for people who are
building from source only because there's no binary package, and are
building from a release source tarball, not from people doing
development or are building from SVN or an SVN tarball for whatever
reason (the GNU autotools build release expect GNU make if you're a
developer, but build release tarballs that don't require it). I've sent
him mail asking why he's doing that.
