[PATCH] RE: Wireshark's WinPcap Detection

["Rob Nicholls" <robert () robnicholls co uk>]

Attached is a patch that should do the trick. Wireshark seems to be a lot
happier that a version of WinPcap is actually installed.

At various points I've tried upgrading from the official WinPcap 4.0.2, our
WinPcap 4.0.2 and even after an official WinPcap 4.0.2 over the top of our
WinPcap 4.0.2 and I think it all works okay (including a few test silent
installations), but any further testing would be greatly appreciated.

Fyodor, is there any chance you could compile another version and stick it
in your /tmp folder like last time?

Great!  That should be just in time for the release next week.
