We got rid of the linux-include junk a while ago (we stopped using the
native OS's header files to define packet layouts, as

        1) not all OSes had the latest and greatest versions of those
           headers, so some things didn't compile on some OSes;

        2) some other header differences required annoying workarounds;

        3) we had to pull in a pile of our own headers for Linux;

and, instead, we have our own headers for those, taken from various
BSDs).

If that's Kenjiro Cho's Tele Traffic Tapper:

        http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/kjc/kjc/software.html#ttt

then the 1.7 version appears not to require tcpdump's headers.
