Minor change to compile in FreeBSD 4.7

[Cody Ritts <cody () wampa-one com>]

Hello, this is the very first time I have ever fixed anything, so please
forgive me if I am wrong or way out of line.  I also apologize because I
don't know exactly what to tell you, so this is what I think is pertinent.
And if time permits, please feel free to criticize me so that I may learn.

Thank you,

Cody Ritts

To fix the problem, I edited ./nametoaddr.c and commented out lines 333-335
 
   So that:

#/usr/local/src/libpcap-0.4> head -335 ./nametoaddr.c | tail -3
/*#ifndef sgi
extern int ether_hostton(char *, struct ether_addr *);
#endif*/
#/usr/local/src/libpcap-0.4>
