program yourself.

- BuildRequire libusb-devel for "usb sniffing" 

- Added libpcap-ocloexec.patch:
  Use O_CLOEXEC in all internal fds so they do not
  leak on fork()..execve() 

- remove some patches
  - libpcap-1.0.0-fcode.patch -- not needed, if this emitted a warning,
    it was a compiler bug
  - libpcap-1.0.0-mac_syntax.patch -- already handled by MAC rule
  - libpcap-1.0.0-man.patch -- tcpdump is man 1, not 8
  - libpcap-1.1.1-scanif.patch -- misapplied, this was fixed upstream
    already
  - libpcap-1.2.1-netfilter-dont-fail-on-EPROTONOSUPPORT.patch

- update to 1.3.0
  - Handle DLT_PFSYNC in {FreeBSD, other *BSD+Mac OS X, other}.
  - Linux: Don't fail if netfilter isn't enabled in the kernel.
  - Add new link-layer type for NFC Forum LLCP.
  - Put the CANUSB stuff into EXTRA_DIST, so it shows up in the release tarball.
  - Add LINKTYPE_NG40/DLT_NG40.
  - Add DLT_MPEG_2_TS/LINKTYPE_MPEG_2_TS for MPEG-2 transport streams.
  - [PATCH] Fix AIX-3.5 crash with read failure during stress
  - AIX fixes.
  - Introduce --disable-shared configure option.
  - Added initial support for canusb devices.
  - Include the pcap(3PCAP) additions as 1.2.1 changes.
  - many updates to documentation: pcap.3pcap.in
  - Improve 'inbound'/'outbound' capture filters under Linux.
  - Note the cleanup of handling of new DLT_/LINKTYPE_ values.
