Have you checked this into cvs yet?  ( Just checking because working 
on this problem is on my agenda for this weekend also).  

Also, there are subtle dependencies through the extern declarations 
that need to be explored.  For example, there is a subtle dependency on 
ipprotostr() which is externed in packet.h and comes from ipproto.c.

ipproto.c is dependent on etypes.h and packet-ip.h.  

There is also an extern dependency on etype_vals[], which is 
defined in packet-ethertype.c ( and also appears to depend on etypes.h).

Just a couple of notes on things I had noticed but not had time to 
resolve yet.
