What, if anything, does `libnet-config --cflags` return?  What about
`libnet-config --libs` and `libnet-config --defines`?  I know at least in
the source distribution, libnet both does configure libnet-config for your
particular system and does not install it.  As such, it is up to the
packager (say, of a .deb or rpm) to do this.

All setting CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS is doing is working around the fact that
your libnet-config might not be outputing anything.
