I didn't see it either.

Not necessarily.

If we have a separate header, however, I'd prefer to create a "pcap"  
subdirectory of the top-level include directory ("/usr/include", "/usr/ 
local/include", etc.), and put pcap.h there, with "{top level include  
directory}/pcap.h" being just

        #include <pcap/pcap.h>

(plus copyright notice etc.) for backwards compatibility, have <pcap/ 
bpf.h> with "{top level include directory}/pcap-bpf.h" including it,  
do the same for "pcap-namedb.h", have <pcap/usb.h>, and perhaps a new  
<pcap/sll.h> for the Linux cooked capture header.

I've added DLT_USB, with a value of 186.
