Both MingW and Watcom (the one I use to compile tcpdump) have
readdir(). Emulating it for MSVC should be easy using FindFirstFile().

That's what I meant.Read the magic number and check against some
minimum supported version.

So, will pcap_findalldevs_ex() find it's way into the "offical" libpcap?
I assume pcap-new.c will compile on all targets. Is there a reason why
winpcap's libpcap isn't synced with the version at www.tcpdump.org?
