Unfortunately, its basic calls include a call to "pcap_open_dead()",
which is also not available in all versions of libpcap.

In the official tcpdump.org code line, "pcap_compile_nopcap()" appeared
before "pcap_open_dead()", but I think NetBSD's libpcap might have, at
one point, had "pcap_open_dead()" but not "pcap_compile_nopcap()".  (I
don't remember the details, but I do remember that they were two
separate ways of achieving the same goal, and that we ended up putting
both into libpcap, with "pcap_compile_nopcap()" implemented atop
"pcap_open_dead()".)
