Hi Holger.  I'm glad to hear it!  If your changes are all to libpcap
itself, your best bet is to work with them toward adoption.  Npcap includes
the latest libpcap (1.9.0) now, and we are usually pretty fast to update to
newer libpcap releases as they are made.  They are great maintainers, so we
try to avoid maintaining our own separate changesets wherever possible.

What kind of "additional capture device" does your extension enable?  We
would love to see a link to the changesets when you submit them to the
tcpdump/libpcap group.

Cheers,
Fyodor
