  Modified files:
    .                    acinclude.m4 configure.in 
  Log:
  Add "-L" flags to LDFLAGS, not LIBS, and get rid of all the exotic
  searching that tries to figure out in what directory libpcap lives - we
  should treat "-L" just like "-I", rather than adding a ton of
  complication to do it the way the autoconf maintainers think, for some
  reason, it should be done (by adding "-L" flags to LIBS - "-L" flags
  don't specify libraries, so I have no clue why they think they belong in
  LIBS; they specify a search path for libraries, just as "-I" flags
  specify a search path for header files, so they strike me as "flags to
  the linker" rather than "libraries", and LDFLAGS, unlike LIBS, appears
  before *all* "-l" flags, including those specified by PCAP_LIBS and so
  on).
