I should know better than to open my big yap but:   pcap isn't the only way to
do raw packet I/O on Linux;   you can also use socket(PF_PACKET) and not need
any special libraries.   Maybe a bit of conditionalized code in bridge.c would
make it easier to build on Linux w/o breaking it on other Unices?   (Yes I'd
be happy to contribute code -- I've been working on my own mopd replacement
anyway partly because of how hard mopd is to build on Slackware Linux.)
