+"run-time" version.  You can also install tcpdump.org's version of
+libpcap; see the README file in this directory for the ftp location.

 Note that most systems ship tcpdump, but usually an older version.
 Remember to remove or rename the installed binary when upgrading.

 If your system is not one which we have tested tcpdump on, you may have
 to modify the configure script and Makefile.in. Please send us patches
 for any modifications you need to make.
