The only thing that I did that made it to /nmap is use dnet's dnet.h,
which was allready #included in tcpip.h, to get the tcp_hdr and udp_hdr
structs and "converted" to those names.  This was done to eliminate some
duplication (like that udphdr_bsd stuff) and it also allowed us to
remove netinet tcp.h and udp.h references from Nmap. The SVN log you
quoted never got into /nmap , so if that was causing any concern, don't
worry about it. And no dnet modifying was done in /nmap .

We can always take it out if there's a problem.

Thanks,
