Is it possible to use your new app without having a full version of 
libpcap in the system (that would have this rpcap-protocol.h anyway)? In 
"Client Setup" you mention that libpcap must be rebuilt with remote 
support enabled, and at this moment our own abridged copy of 
rpcap-protocol.h becomes redundant. Our copy allows building the 
application in systems where rpcapd is missing or built without the 
remote support, but then the build result cannot be used. Am I 
misunderstanding something?
