Good points.  I've updated configure --help so it now says:

  --with-libdnet=DIR      Use an existing (compiled) dnet lib from DIR/include
                          and DIR/lib. This is NOT RECOMMENDED because we have
                          made many important fixes to libdnet, as described
                          at
                          http://nmap.org/svn/libdnet-stripped/NMAP_MODIFICATIONS
  --with-libdnet=included Use the libdnet version included with Nmap (default)

Cheers,
