Well, I just phased it in, in the current CVS tree, for all platforms:

        on BPF systems that have BIOCGDLTLIST, it uses the NetBSD code;

        on BPF systems that lack BIOCGDLTLIST, and on non-BPF systems,
        "pcap_list_datalinks()" returns a singleton set with the DLT
        from "pcap_datalink()", and "pcap_set_datalink()" rejects
        attempts to set the DLT to any value other than the DLT from
        "pcap_datalink()".
