That's a nice clean patch. It looks good to me. Here is my output
without any configure options:

Here it is --with-libpcap=included:

That's a good question. I think we can just hard-code the settings on
Windows. Looking at the build environment, I see we always build liblua,
libdnet-stripped, and libpcre, but there is no project for libpcap. So I
added these to nmap_winconfig.h:

#define LUA_INCLUDED 1
#undef PCAP_INCLUDED
#define DNET_INCLUDED 1
#define PCRE_INCLUDED 1

It's true that the libpcap we link with may be the WinPcap binary that
we distribute, or it may be from winpcap.org. But the only difference is
in the installer (I think) so it's not so important.

I committed this as r22364.
