You did, although updating the list of LINKTYPE_ values in savefile.c  
and the table mapping between LINKTYPE_ values and DLT_ values should  
also be done; I've checked that into CVS.

(The mapping is done because, although most if not all DLT_ values, as  
you get from pcap_linktype(), and LINKTYPE_ values, as appear in  
capture files, are the same for a given link-layer type, there are  
some exceptions, for binary compatibility on some BSD systems where  
the DLT_ values were allocated independently and with different values  
on different BSDs.)
