Thanks.  Searching for "replay" instead of "generator" found a bunch
of hits for tcpreplay, including several times that you've answered
this exact same question for other people. :-)

I'll give it a try once I get past the compile bugs.  It looks as if
the code hasn't been touched in a while and I suspect it is having
problems with the newer versions of the libraries.  I'll post the
details if I get it working.
