Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] VS2008 Express compilation attempt

The attached change to libpcap.c (re-order the #include statements) seems to solve it.
There are other places it is required (capture-wpcap.c, for example), and this simple change didn't work as nicely.

There's a similar problem with inet_pton() and inet_ntop() in various other files:
capture.c
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\ws2tcpip.h(583) : error C2
373: 'inet_pton' : redefinition; different type modifiers
        c:\wireshark\inet_v6defs.h(31) : see declaration of 'inet_pton'
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\ws2tcpip.h(600) : error C2
373: 'inet_ntop' : redefinition; different type modifiers
        c:\wireshark\inet_v6defs.h(33) : see declaration of 'inet_ntop'
capture_opts.c

I found similar issue here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1839725&forum_id=36109
but I couldn't resolve it in Wireshark's case.
